RESOLVED

KEY DECISION

That the Executive:

i) Approved the following changes into the capital programme:

a. Oakley Vale, Corby Highway Adoption - £971k – budget approval for £971k, £495k in 2023/24, £476k in 2024/25 which is to be funded from external funds as part of the initial Infrastructure Agreement.

b. North Northamptonshire Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (NNEVI) £2.90m - £285k in 2024/25, £810k in 2025/26 and £1.8m in 2026/27 which is to be funded from an external grant.

c. Integrated Transport Block 2023/24 – reduction to existing capital scheme of £184k to align the scale of the programme with the confirmed grant funding from the Department of Transport.

Reasons for Recommendations: These are set out in greater detail within section 5 of the report but can be summarised as:

·       To support the statutory delivery of school places and SEND school places across North Northamptonshire.

·       To meet corporate plan objectives, for instance in leading in improving the local environment

Alternative Options Considered:

·       As all the schemes in this report are grant funded/S106 funded, the use of the funding is in line with the agreements, so there are no alternative option proposed in this report.

·       Where individual schemes are over £500k, individual reports are presented elsewhere on the agenda that set out the wider options that were considered before reaching the proposed schemes identified for grant funding.
