Decision details

Further to Minute No. 97 of the meeting held on 2 September 2010, the Cabinet considered a joint report of the Interim Head of Corporate Finance and ICT Strategy and the Strategic Directors for Communities, Social Care and Wellbeing and Children, Schools and Families which set out the latest position in respect of the 2010/11 Capital Programme and its implications into 2011/12.  The report also gave details of the capital resource notifications received from Central Government.

The report also set out proposals for the amendment of the Council Constitution to improve the accountability and management of the Capital Programme.
