1. Summary

1.1 The following decision is sought:

That the proposals for allocations within the overall Recreation and Heritage capital programme for 2005/06 set out in the Appendix to the accompanying report be approved.

2. Reasons

2.1 Initial proposals for the Recreation and Heritage capital programme for the four years 2005/06 to 2008/09 were considered by the Policy Review Committee and approved by the Executive Member on 20 January. The Recreation and Heritage capital programme approved by Council on 23 February included an additional allocation to the original guideline for 2005/06 of £600,000

2.2 Because of uncertainties over the total level of available resources, it is proposed that allocations are made only to the main recurring elements of the 2005/06 programme and to known commitments at this stage. Detailed proposals on the use of the unallocated balance will be made to the Executive Member when the final position on the programme limit for 2005/06 is known. Consideration will be given to the forward programme later in the year in the context of an overall review of the County Council's capital resources.

3. Other options considered and rejected

4. Conflicts of interest declared by the decision maker or other Executive Member consulted

None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee

Not applicable.

6. Reasons for matter being dealt with, if urgent - not applicable

Approved by: (Signature) Date: (of decision)
