That the Executive:
i)
Approved the following changes into the capital programme:
a.
Manor School, Raunds SEND Provision - budget approval for
£145k in 2024/25, to be funded from external
grant.
b.
Corby Business Academy SEND Provision - budget
approval for £544k, £2k in 2023/24, £542k in
2024/25, to be funded from external grant.
c.

d.

be funded from external grant.
e.
Mirco Woodlands – budget approval for £27.7k in
2023/24, to be funded from external grant.
Reasons for Recommendations: These
are set out in greater detail within section 5 of the report, but
can be summarised as helping to meet the Council’s corporate
plan objectives:
-
Active, fulfilled lives
-
Safe and Thriving Places
-
Green sustainable environment
-
Connected Communities
Alternative Options Considered:
·
For those schemes which
are grant funded, they are undertaken in accordance with the
requirements of the grant conditions and, therefore, there is no
alternative option proposed in this
report.
·
The budget virement in
support of the ICT equipment could have been released, however, the
replacement of end user devices is an important element of ensuring
that the Council has the appropriate equipment to support and
deliver services and further investment is required in this
area.
·
Where individual schemes are over
£0.5m, separate reports are included elsewhere on this
agenda, and these set out the wider options that were considered
before reaching the proposals put forward.
