Children Services Capital Programme - School Condition Allocation grant 2018/19

Decision Maker: Director of Children and Adults Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Council has been allocated School Condition grant funding of £110,000 for the 2018/19 academic year to support a range of projects and initiatives across maintained Darlington Schools and nurseries. Additionally an under spend of £168,145 from the 2017/18 capital programme is available to support this year’s projects. All funding has been allocated in line with rigorous assessment processes that support Asset Management priorities.

Decision:

The final programme was proposed to the Director of People for sign off at Control Point 2 of the Authority’s Capital Project Process. Where priorities were not addressed in 2018/19 they roll forward to the following financial year as does any programme under spend.

Alternative options considered:

The draft programme considered by Cabinet included highest priority condition works identified by building surveyors. Tendering of the works was carried out following Cabinet. Broadly the works remained the same but where costs were higher than anticipated the highest priority condition needs were proposed to be targeted.
