(ii)  To approve the addition and spend of £1.08m in 2019/20, to the Resources capital programme.  As detailed in paragraph 5 of the report. 

The capital programme is reviewed on a quarterly basis in accordance with the Council’s Capital Strategy.  The forecast position is reported to the Council Capital Board and with any required programme update report to Cabinet and Council for approval.  This report is required to enable schemes in the programme to proceed and to approve additions and changes to the programme. 

Changes to the capital programme are undertaken within the resource constraints imposed on it.  No new schemes can be added unless specific additional resources are identified.  Alternative options for new capital spending are considered as part of the budget setting process in the light of the funding available and the overall financial position.
