The Committee considered a report
of the Strategic Director of Children’s Services which set
out the key priority areas for capital investment for the
Education, Children and Families Policy Committee and provides an
overview of potential projects and priorities for the years 2024 to
2029, with an overview of anticipated developments and challenges
up to 2052.
 
RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Education, Children and Families Policy Committee:
 
1. Endorse the proposals set out in this
report.
 
2. Note that the proposals will now be
included in the draft Capital Strategy to be submitted to Full
Council for approval in March 2024 and, if approved:
 
a) Officers will work with Members to consult
with relevant stakeholders (including with partners, staff, trades
unions [if required] and in respect of equalities and climate
change) on the proposals in this report to inform final project
proposals;
b) Officers will work to develop any necessary
detailed implementation plans for the proposals in this report so
that the proposals can be implemented as planned; and
c) Approval for detailed proposals will be
sought as part of the monthly capital approval cycle by the Finance
Committee.
 
Reasons for Decision
 
Members are asked to note the unsustainable
financial position highlighted by the medium-term financial
analysis presented to Strategy and Resources Committee in September
2023.
 
This report and its recommendations set out
how capital projects can continue to be developed and delivered,
despite the limited resources available and continue to deliver
quality infrastructure for the people of Sheffield.
 
Alternatives Considered and Rejected
 
The Council is required to both set a balanced
budget and to ensure that in-year income and expenditure are
balanced. Committee is invited to comment upon and endorse the
current proposals to form part of the Council’s wider Capital
Strategy for 2024/25.
