HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Executive Decision Record

1. The following decision was made:

a) That the capital programme for 2010/11 to 2012/13, be approved for submission to the Leader and Cabinet.

b) That following the review of the 2009/10 programme the proposal to carry forward £0.54m to 2010/11 to support Extra Care and remedial work in residential homes, be approved.

2. Reasons for the decision:

2.1 Cabinet has requested that executive members prepare proposals for:

· a locally-resourced capital programme for the three-year period from 2010/11 to 2012/13 within guidelines that spread the existing capital programme for 2010/11 and 2011/12 over three years. This is in recognition of the sharp decline in the expected availability of capital receipts over the next three years as a result of the condition of the housing market.

· a programme of capital schemes supported by Government grants or supported borrowing in 2010/11 and 2011/12 and those expected to be supported in 2012/13, subject to limits restricting the take-up of Government supported borrowing approvals.

2.2 The guidelines for the capital programme have been set within the context of the medium term financial strategy which is closely linked to the Corporate Strategy and the Corporate Business Plan. This ensures that the priorities are affordable and provide value for money and that resources follow priorities. Decisions on the capital programme will support the County Council's corporate priorities as indicated in the detailed capital report attached.
