1. Summary

1.1 The following decisions are sought:

(i) That the proposed changes to the 2006/07 Transport capital programme, as set out in Appendix 1, be approved.

(ii) That the revised 2006/07 Transport capital programme, as set out in Appendix 2, be approved.

(iii) That the Environment capital programme for 2007/08 to 2010/11, as set out in Appendix 3, be recommended to Cabinet.

2. Reason

2.1 Cabinet has requested that Executive Members prepare proposals for:

(i) a locally-resourced capital programme for the four year period from 2007/08 to 2010/11 within the guidelines of the current capital programme adjusted for inflation; and

(ii) capital schemes supported by Government grants or supported borrowing in 2007/08 and those expected to be supported in 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11, subject to limits restricting the take-up of Government supported borrowing allocations. It is necessary to adjust the 2006/07 transport capital programme as a number of projects will not now start in the year.

2.2 Decisions on the Environmental capital programme will support the County Council's corporate priorities as indicated in the detailed capital programme.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected - Not applicable.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or Other Executive Member Consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - None.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - None.
