RESOLVED

3. That the proposed gross deferred spend of £41.6M (£22.6M net) from 2016/17 to 2017/18, as detailed at Appendix B to the report, be noted. This was approved by the Leader, Deputy Leader, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Resources under a delegated authority given by the Executive on 4 April 2017 due to the accelerated timescale for the accounts closure.
