Decision details

The Cabinet Member considered the report of the Strategic Director - Children, Schools and Families seeking approval for the proposed expenditure of the Sefton City Learning Centres Capital Redevelopment Funding.

Ms Chris Dalziel, School Organisation & Capital Programme Manager indicated that since the publication of the report, representations were made to Partnerships for Schools (PfS) to request that the balance which remains from the 2009/10 allocation of the City Learning Centre Redevelopment funding be carried forward into the current financial year. A response to this request was received on 24 November 2010 and the PfS had confirmed that the £261.081 could be carried forward into 2010/11 but must be expended by 31 March 2011.  The total funding available in 2010/11 was therefore £561,081.

RESOLVED: That

(1)       the proposed expenditure, to be funded entirely from specific resources be approved, and

 (2)      the Cabinet be recommended to include the proposed expenditure in the 2010/11 Children, Schools and Families Capital Programme.
