C. That Cabinet note the following items which are envisaged will
impact on the Capital Programme:

a)  Amenity Way – Officers are
currently compiling the works required to this site for the new
waste collection and street cleansing service – it is
currently envisaged that this will be funded from SCIL and the
mobilisation fund.

b)  The Authority is currently
undertaking a review of its transportation provision to become
carbon neutral. In the short term there are a number of vehicles
that need to be replaced either by leasing/rental/purchase as they
are non-ULEZ compliant (21 vehicles) and are rented/leased under a
framework agreement that ceases in September 2024 (6 vehicles).
Procurement documentation will progress options to rent/lease and
purchase, once the method of procurement is established budgetary
provision will be made.

 

c) TheAuthority hasjust beensuccessful ina StageOne
bidfor financialresources forthe Local Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure from the Department of Transport – this was a
joint bid from Hounslow, Richmond and Wandsworth (Stage Two
submission by 30November 2023) – as
additional information becomes available it is envisaged that the
tranche applicable to Merton will be added to the Capital Programme
for 2023-24

d)  Draft Terms – AFC Wimbledon
Library and Community Hub - This is a variation on proposals
previously considered by the Authority – the changes compared
to the previous proposal are:

·          
Lease term changed from 25 years to 99
years.

·          
No break clause
 
10 years of running costs
covered by club sponsorship thereafter full cost will fall on
LBM.
