Decision details

The Sub Committee had before it a report by the Director of Enterprise, Planning and Infrastructure which presented information pertaining to the current pressures on the Common Good Revenue Budget allocation for repairs to all Common Good properties.

The report recommended –

that the Sub Committee –

(a)       note the increasing demand for additional spending on our Common Good assets and that officers were actively working to prioritise spending through a programme of condition surveys;

(c)        refer the report to the Finance, Policy and Resources Committee for consideration of additional £20,000 to allow the urgent works to be progressed this financial year.

The Sub Committee resolved:-

(i)         to approve the recommendations; and

(ii)        to request officers to provide members of the Sub Committee with a detailed breakdown of the total cost of the electrical works to be undertaken at Fernhill Farm.
