The report proposes the Capital Programme for the four years from April 2016. It excludes the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) which is subject to a separate report.

RECOMMENDED to Council

That the Capital Programme for 2016/17 to 2019/20 be approved.

The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Corporate Resources setting out the proposed capital programme for the period 2016/17 to 2019/20.

The capital programme continued to feature some large schemes including the requirement to provide new school places, A421 dualling, highways structural maintenance, new highways depots and household waste recycling centres, the Woodside Link road and the Dunstable leisure centre and library.

The Executive also noted that a report later on the agenda addressed a proposal for additional capital funding for Dunstable leisure centre and library, which was reflected in the proposed capital programme.

Reason for decision: To enable Council to consider the proposed capital programme for 2016/17 to 2019/20 to facilitate effective financial management and planning.

RECOMMENDED to Council

that the Capital Programme for 2016/17 to 2019/20 be approved.
