    1 Introductory

    1.1 This report sets out proposed changes to the 2007/08 capital programme.

    1.2 The proposals in this report support the Corporate Strategies "Maximising well-being" and Enhancing our quality of place" by proposing allocations of funding to improve the environments of Hampshire schools and children's homes.

    1.3 The five outcomes specified in the Children Act are set out below, with a summary of how the proposals in this report contribute to their achievement:

        · being healthy (enjoying good physical and mental health and living a healthy lifestyle): through proposals which include the encouragement of walking and cycling to and from school, the provision of health advice through children's centres and co-location with the Health Service;

        · staying safe (being protected from harm and neglect): by creating safe environments in schools, children's centres, children's homes and carers' homes;

        · enjoying and achieving (getting the most out of life and developing the skills for adulthood): by providing a high standard of education and care for children in suitable buildings;

        · making a positive contribution (being involved with the community and society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour): by encouraging the flexible and creative use of accommodation;

        · economic well-being (not being prevented by economic disadvantage from achieving their full potential in life): by ensuring that proposals will not disadvantage children, will protect equality of opportunity and support children from no or low income families to secure skills and qualifications.

    2. Recommendations

        a) That the revised 2007/08 capital programme set out in Appendix 2 be approved and that projects with a value of £12.511m listed in Appendix 1 be carried forward from 2006/07 to 2007/08;

        b) That, subject to the approval of the Executive Member for Policy and Resources, the following variations to the 2007/08 capital programme be approved:

            (i) a consolidated budget of £21.771m for the provision of Phase 2 of the Children's Centres programme;

            (ii) an increase of £0.529m in the estimated cost of the major project at The Bridge Education Centre, Eastleigh, to a total of £1.649m;

            (iii) an increase of £0.316m in the estimated cost of the major project at Marnel Infant and Marnel Junior Schools, Basingstoke, to a total of £3.691m;

            (iv) a contribution of £0.099m to the major project at The Lanterns Children's Centre, Winchester, to be funded initially from the capital programme contingency, pending availability of a capital receipt from the sale of the former Greenacres School, Winchester.

        c) That individual allocations for a range of projects, listed in Appendix 4, agreed by the Director of Children's Services be approved;

        d) That the Executive Member for Policy and Resources is asked to agree to the reuse of 100% of a capital receipt from the sale of surplus land at Roman Way Primary School, Andover as a contribution to a planned major improvement project at the school.

    3. Carry forward from 2006/07 and capital receipts

        Carry forward from 2006/07

    3.1 A total of £13.354m of 2006/07 resources was unspent at the end of the financial year, excluding resources and projects carried forward when the 2007/08 capital programme was approved on 18 January 2007. The total is made up as shown in Table 1.

    3.2 The total in Table 1 includes adjustments for reprofiling of DfES grant for early years initiatives in 2006/07 (see paragraph 4.1).

    3.3 Of the £13.354m of resources to be carried forward to 2007/08, £10.353m relates to provision in block votes rather than for specific projects. The largest single component of this carry forward is provision for early years initiatives (£6.874m). Of the remaining carry forward amounts relating to block votes, it is proposed to add these to the block votes for similar provision in the 2007/08 programme. Exceptions to this are shown in Table 2:

        Capital receipts

    3.5 Table 3 shows the capital receipts made available to Children's Services as a result of transactions during 2006/07. These receipts cover expenditure incurred in previous financial years to allow capital projects to proceed in advance of land sales.

    3.7 The DfES has recently announced that it has disallowed grant payments requested for the 2005/06 financial year relating to funding for children's centres and other early years initiatives. This decision follows extensive correspondence with the department seeking to justify the claim. These deductions total £0.473m and this amount needs to be deducted from the 2006/07 cash limit.

    3.8 A further £0.020m of resources needs to be added to the provision for the major project at Henry Tyndale School, Farnborough. This reflects a recent increase in the valuation of the school's existing post-16 premises, which are to be sold to contribute to the cost of the new building.

    3.9 Taking into account changes since the 2007/08 programme was produced in January (including those proposed in this report) the revised limit for the programme is £104.069m, made up as shown in Table 5.

        Funding for early years projects

    4.1 As indicated in paragraph 3.2 the DfES announced recently that its grant support for early years projects in 2006/07 and 2007/08 was to be reprofiled; this reprofiling involved an increase in allocations and is set out in Table 6.

    4.2 The resources carried forward from 2006/07 under this heading take account of this reprofiling, as well as commitments entered into against the children's centres programme, sustainability grants to existing early years providers and capital expenditure to support the extended schools initiative.

    4.3 Previous reports have referred to the difficulties of funding the capital requirements of Phase 2 of the children's centres programme and additional resources from the Children's Services capital programme have been identified to achieve the necessary funding. A costed building programme at 38 locations has now been produced and is reported elsewhere on this agenda. While this programme, which includes projects already committed, is affordable within the proposed budget provision, significant cost uncertainties remain and very close monitoring of projected and actual costs is being maintained as the programme progresses. In addition, there are time pressures, as projects need to be completed by 30 September 2008 in order to qualify for DfES grant.

      4.4 The 2007/08 programme approved in January 2007 includes provision for further sustainability grants to early years providers (£1.000m) and to support the extended schools initiative (£0.527m). Expenditure of £0.516m has been approved for sustainability projects against the 2007/08 provision. In view, however, of the continuing funding pressures on children's centres, it is recommended that all available DfES grant resources for early years are applied to children's centres and that no further expenditure is incurred on sustainability or extended schools projects.

    4.5 As indicated in Table 2, it is proposed to apply unallocated resources totalling £0.345m carried forward from 2006/07 to the provision for children's centres. In addition, an anticipated capital receipt of £1.250m from part of the sale proceeds from Shepherd's Spring Infant School, Andover is proposed for inclusion in the revised provision for children's centres. The allocation for the Andover centre is in accordance with the Cabinet decision of 27 July 2006 on the north-east Andover primary schools review and it is recommended that part of the receipt is used for this purpose.

        Children's centres programme

    4.6 Work is well advanced to identify sites for the remaining 38 children's centres to meet the requirements of Phase 2 of the national children's centres programme. A separate report on this agenda sets out proposed locations and costings. A consolidated budget of £21.771m to fund the remainder of the expenditure required to complete Phase 2 of the children's centres programme is included in the revised 2007/08 programme.

    4.7 Overall capital funding for the children's centres programme across the 2006/07 and 2007/08 financial years is analysed in Appendix 3. At this stage in the programme costings for many of the schemes are being finalised, but the cost plan for the children's centres project as a whole provides sufficient funding for the planned schemes. Given the uncertainties, however, the available provision is under significant pressure and, as resources to support the programme have already been identified from a range of sources within the capital programme, it will not be possible to increase them further. DfES capital grant for this purpose is also cash limited. An update on costs against budget provision will be provided in future reports.

        Significant variations to major projects

        Bridge Education Centre, Eastleigh

    4.8 The 2007/08 capital programme includes an allocation of £1.120m for adaptation of the former Tankerville School building, Eastleigh to house the Bridge Education Centre, which is currently located in inadequate temporary buildings on a leased site in Colden Common. At the time the 2007/08 programme was prepared, feasibility work for this project was in hand and costings were based on historical allocations from desktop analysis, without the benefit of detailed knowledge of the building and the adaptations and major repairs required.

    4.9 Detailed design work has now been carried out and more accurate estimates have been drawn up, indicating that the overall cost of the project, including work to the structure of the building, is estimated at £2.175m. Provision is also being made for office accommodation for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), the full cost of which is being met from PCT capital, estimated at £0.530m. Policy and Resources is making a substantial contribution in recognition of the structural repairs and improvements required to the building, including recladding and reproofing of the existing structure. The proposed funding sources are set out in Table 7.

    4.10 This project represents good value for money given the provision which will result and the increased sum of £1.649m has been included in the funding for this project shown in the revised 2007/08 programme submitted for approval at Appendix 2.

        Marnel Infant and Junior Schools, Basingstoke

    4.11 A project to increase the capacity of Marnel Infant and Marnel Junior Schools, in response to major new housing, is included in the 2007/08 programme at an estimated cost of £3.375m. Initial plans and costings for this project excluded provision of space for an existing early years group, as it was unclear at that time whether this facility would relocate to the children's centre building to be provided for this area of Basingstoke. It is now clear that this facility will not relocate and space for it is therefore required in the extended infant school building. The additional cost is estimated at £0.316m and this increased sum has been included in the funding for this project shown in the revised 2007/08 programme submitted for approval at Appendix 2, giving a total estimated project cost of £3.691m.

        Basingstoke School Plus

    4.12 There is provision of £4.250m in the current year's capital programme for improvements and new provision at Basingstoke School Plus. Work is in hand to identify the most appropriate future provision, particularly for the services provided from the Ashwood building. In the meantime, however, the need for urgent improvements to the Pack Lane building has been identified. This includes a range of work to improve the health and safety of pupils and staff, with immediate measures being required to prevent unauthorised access to the roof and to improve safety for those gaining access to the roof. It is proposed to earmark up to £0.250m to fund these works, with £0.050m allocated to urgent security works in connection with the roof. Remaining projects will be identified in conjunction with the management committee and acting headteacher and will be approved by the Director of Children's Services under delegated powers.

        Lantern's Children's Centre, Winchester

    4.13 The major project to provide an innovative new Early Years Centre in Winchester was successfully completed in September 2005. Since that time, negotiations with the main contractor have been ongoing to conclude the final account. This has recently been settled and the project was overspent by under 5% of the contract sum (£0.099m). This was principally due to three issues:

        · unforeseen services infrastructure in the pavement which had to be diverted to satisfy the statutory authorities;

        · additional spoil being taken off-site due to particular local ground conditions discovered during excavations;

        · additional specialist fitting-out to suit the specialist nature of the facility.

    4.14 It should be noted that none of these issues were apparent at the time of tender. The Executive Member is asked to approve the additional funding for this successful project from the increased value of the capital receipt from the sale of the adjacent Greenacres site and other disposals in Winchester which were identified to fund the project. The need for additional funding will, therefore, not require any compensating adjustments to the remainder of the capital programme.

    4.15 In order that contractual payments may be made, it is recommended that £0.099m is made available from the contingency and repaid when the capital receipt is available.

    Sustainable initiatives in schools

    4.16 The 2007/08 capital programme includes provision of £0.350m to support sustainable initiatives in school building projects with a view to:-

        · supporting national government initiatives to produce sustainable buildings and reduce carbon emissions;

        · enhancing capital programme projects to realise greater carbon reductions than would be affordable from within allocated resources;

        · applying the additional funding to technologies that will exceed the minimum energy consumption targets set by Statutory Building Regulation requirements;

        · acting as a learning tool for each of the projects and schools concerned to increase awareness of the improvements that the new technologies can make to saving carbon.

    4.17 It is proposed therefore to support a number of projects in the 2007/2008 capital programme with enhancements that will reduce future carbon emissions (and thus save energy and reduce running costs) by fitting a range of technologies including:

        · wind turbines at two schools: the County Council has already secured planning permission for a turbine at Romsey School and proposes to site two more (subject to all the necessary approvals);

        · photovoltaic installation (provides electrical energy from the sun);

        · solar thermal installation (pre-heating hot water using the heat from the sun). It is proposed to install these in at least three schools including Everest Community College, Basingstoke, where the connections have already been installed to future-proof the school design;

        · smart metering: installation of display screens into new school projects (up to eight) to act as an education facility to raise awareness of energy consumption and encourage schools to control and reduce their consumption through education and management action;

        · monitoring: it is proposed to spend around 5% of the budget on post- completion monitoring and feedback to inform which provide the best solutions and which live up to the theoretical claims made by manufacturers and consultants as applied directly to Hampshire schools in a live situation.

    4.18 There are regular national announcements by regulatory bodies and government representatives, stating that the requirements for energy reduction, carbon reduction and the use of renewable energies will continue to rise in the very near future. By committing this funding now, the County Council and the school projects it constructs, will be at the forefront of these new technologies and will be able to build on these experiences in readiness for further regulation. With these projects and those such as the Ashburton Court refurbishment, the County Council will demonstrate a lead both regionally and nationally.

    Primary Capital Programme - Pathfinder status

    4.19 Last year the DfES invited bids from local authorities for pathfinder projects ahead of its national roll-out programme to help shape policy and good practice for the use of the main allocations. The County Council was one of 23 authorities selected as regional pathfinders. It is intended that these 23 pathfinder authorities develop strategies and good practice for use of the new resources, which will become available nationally in 2009/10 and continue for up to 15 years. The aim of the Primary Capital Pathfinder (PCP) is to enable 5% of primary school buildings nationally to be rebuilt and 45% substantially refurbished from 2009/10 onwards, when the main funding allocations become available to local authorities. It is expected that the County Council will feed back to the DfES any issues encountered during the pathfinder work in order that best practice can be disseminated nationally.

    4.20 As a result of this successful bid the 2008/09 capital programme includes provision of £6.5m of capital grant for pathfinder projects. The County Council's bid was for major improvements to schools in the Andover area, including the complete replacement of Abbott's Ann Primary School and for projects associated with the reorganisation of primary school provision in north-east Andover, approved by the School Organisation Committee in December 2006. Since the announcement of Pathfinder status, officers have been developing proposals for implementation of capital works as early as possible in 2008/09 at the following locations:

      Abbott's Ann Primary School - inadequate buildings on a very constrained site

      Construction of new school building on an alternative site

      Knight's Enham Infant and Junior Schools

      Comprehensive improvements to facilities and to building structure

      Roman Way Primary School

      Comprehensive improvements to facilities and to building structure

    4.21 Detailed discussions are currently underway with the schools concerned and at this stage it is not possible to present detailed project proposals or costings. A cost plan has, however, been prepared and it is proposed to use part of the anticipated capital receipts from the sale of surplus land on the Shepherds Spring schools site to supplement the Government grant to allow more extensive works to be carried out at the Knights Enham schools. This is in line with the Cabinet decision of 24 July 2007. The governors of Roman Way Primary School have also agreed in principle to the sale some surplus land, which will require Secretary of State's approval, and it is proposed that the resulting receipt should be used to help finance improvement work at that school. Discussions are in hand with the Diocese of Winchester about reuse of the receipt from the sale of the existing Abbotts Ann Primary School site.

    4.22 Subject to the outcome of these discussions and to formal approvals, it is anticipated that the planned investment at the sites listed above, together with the planned Education Centre and Children's Centre in the adapted Shepherds Spring buildings, will total about £12m. Detailed funding proposals and cost estimates will be submitted as part of the proposed 2008/09 capital programme in January 2008.

    4.23 It is recommended that the Executive Member for Policy and Resources is asked to agree to the re-use of up 100% of the sale proceeds of part of the Roman Way Primary School site to support an improvement programme for the school buildings and grounds.

    5. Action taken by the Director of Children's Services

    5.1 Under delegated powers, and following consultation with the Executive Members for Children's Services and Education, approval has been given to a number of items below £0.250m. These are listed in full in Appendix 4 and it is recommended that formal approval is now given to the allocations listed.

    6. Schools capital consultation

    6.1 At the end of June the DfES sent local authorities a consultation document setting out proposed changes in the methodology for allocating capital funding from 2008/09 onwards. The deadline for responses is 24 July 2007. A number of proposals in the consultation are currently being clarified with DfES and views will be sought from the Schools Forum. An oral update will be given at the decision day meeting.

    7. County Council Policy Requirements

    6.1 Legal implications - The proposals support the County Council's statutory duty to provide school places and comply with central government accommodation requirements and guidance.

    6.2 Financial implications - These are set out in the report.

    6.3 Personnel implications - None directly arising from this report.

    6.4 Community cohesion, inclusiveness and partnership working - Most of the capital projects proposed in this report support these aims.

    6.5 Crime prevention issues - None directly arising from this report.
