2007-08/PR0010 V01 Hot Property

This project is funded by NBC, utility companies and private landlords. Contributions to the value of £5,351 have been received in 2009-10; therefore the budget for this project needs to be increased by this amount. |

2008-09/GF066 V01 Sport & Recreation in Beckets Park
Planning & Regeneration |
Phase one of this project was completed in 2008-09 which included installing children’s play equipment that met DDA requirements, to improve access to play for children with disabilities, and a 5 a side football pitch. It was the intention that more works would take place improving the environment of Beckets Park, but it is now felt this would conflict with the strategic improvement of Beckets Park. |

Minutes:
Councillor Clarke addressed Cabinet expressing concern at the £250K overspend on bringing private landlord properties up to standard. However he was pleased to see the overspend for disabled adaptations, as this showed that vulnerable people were getting their needs addressed. He did suggest that there was something very wrong with budget forecasting to have misjudged the spending to this extent.
Councillor Mildren addressed Cabinet, commenting on the expenditure outlined in Annex B of the report and enquiring if the £300K capitalisation directive related to potential employee costs as set out in Annex D.
Councillor Perkins, as Portfolio Holder for Finance, presented the report to cabinet and took members through the details of the proposed variations as laid out in the appendices to the report.
Councillor PD Varnsverry and Councillor Beardsworth stressed the importance of ensuring that housing adaptations for vulnerable people were carried out at the earliest opportunity. Councillor B Hoare added that a large proportion of the work had been necessary to cover a baglog left by previous administrations in spite of insufficient funding coming from central Government.
