The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Resources which provided an update on the progress of the Early Learning and Childcare capital projects.

The report recommended:

that the Committee note that this project formed part of the overall Aberdeen City Council’s Early Learning and Childcare Expansion Programme of works.

Members asked various questions in relation to particular projects which included, the change in the cost for the projects compared to the initial predictions and the contingency plans in place.  Mr Kemp, Principal Architectural Officer advised that the costs had varied for some projects due to the outcome of the design development process and changes to the original brief and that temporary accommodation and other facilities in the area were being used until the projects had been completed.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note the responses provided from officers to various questions regarding individual projects;

(ii)      to note the thanks provided to officers for their work on the project to date; and

(iii)      to otherwise approve the recommendation contained in the report.
