1 Summary

1.1 That the capital programme for 2007/08 to 2010/11 as set out in Appendix 1 be approved for submission to the Cabinet.

1.2 That it be a recommendation to Cabinet that the capital cash limit for 2007/08 be increased by bringing forward £100,000 from the 2010/11 capital programme. This to be funded by temporary unsupported borrowing, serviced by repayments from revenue.

· 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.

2.2 Decisions on the capital programme will support the County Council's corporate priorities, as indicated in the detailed capital programme attached at Appendix 1.
