Decision details
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.
