Funding Source

Budget Increase

2007-08 GI0009 V03 E-Payments Chip & Pin

Finance & Support

There were unforeseen complications during the project, which resulted in the need for additional resource to ensure project deadlines were met. The E-returns did not work when they went live, which meant that each individual E-return had to be rebuilt. The additional budget required will be funded by an increase in prudential borrowing.

2008-09/GF045B V05 CMP Building Energy Management System

Environment & Culture

An increase in budget is necessary due to additional work being required. The unallocated Salix grant funding and prudential borrowing that is ringfenced for carbon management projects will fund this.

Budget Decrease

2008-09 GF036 V06 & 2009-10 GF066 V01 CMP Pipework Insulation

Environment & Culture

Pipework insulation has been completed at Lings Forum, Mounts Baths, Danes Camp Leisure Centre and the Guildhall. The cost of all of these pieces of work are less than originally thought, therefore the budgets need to be reduced. There will be no savings arising from this variation; the funding will be reinvested in other carbon management projects, in line with the terms and conditions of the external funding.

2009-10/GF057 V01 Danes Camp Flume Relining

Environment & Culture

A supplier has been found that can carry out the project in a method that causes little disruption to the pool’s timetable therefore eliminating the necessity to close. The project costs are also much less than originally budgeted for which reduces the amount of capital funding required.

2008-09/GF057 V01 Upton Country Park Pedestrian & Cycle Bridge

Planning & Regeneration

The delivery of the project is delayed due to a third party land ownership issue and incorrect base data provided by the Environment Agency. The original cost estimate did not have a sufficient allowance for the necessary temporary works and access costs to construct the bridge. The revised cost has been compiled with input from a civil engineering contractor.

Cooper Street Heating Improvements Phase 2

It is proposed to slip £586,640 into next financial year, so that works can carry be completed in warmer weather, when tenants will not require their heating.

2009-10/HRA005 V03 Garage Roofs & Doors

Housing HRA

A garage review is underway, identifying the sites for improvement or development. It is not appropriate to carry out works until the review is complete and the overall position on garages has been assessed. It is therefore requested to slip the remaining budget for this project into next financial year in order to fulfil the works highlighted from the review.
