Summary
The Executive of North Yorkshire Council met on Tuesday, 11 June 2024, to discuss several key issues, including the Schools Condition Capital Programme, the National Childcare Expansion Programme, and proposed changes to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Discretions Policy. Decisions were made on funding allocations and policy amendments to support the council's strategic objectives.
Schools Condition Capital Programme 2024-25
The council reviewed the Schools Condition Capital Programme 2024-25, which outlines the allocation of funds for the maintenance and improvement of school facilities. The programme aims to ensure that school buildings are safe, warm, and in good condition. The Executive approved the proposed capital allocations, which include essential repairs, upgrades to heating systems, and improvements to accessibility.
National Childcare Expansion Programme
The National Childcare Expansion Programme was discussed, focusing on increasing the availability of childcare places across North Yorkshire. The programme is part of a broader initiative to support working families and promote early childhood education. The Executive approved the acceptance of funding from the Department for Education to expand childcare provision, with a particular emphasis on areas with high demand and limited availability.
Proposed Changes to LGPS Discretions Policy
The council considered a report on proposed changes to the LGPS Discretions Policy, which governs the discretionary decisions that employers can make regarding the Local Government Pension Scheme. The changes aim to provide greater clarity and flexibility in the administration of the pension scheme. The Executive approved the proposed amendments, which will be implemented following a consultation period with stakeholders.
Forward Plan
The Forward Plan for the period 20 May 2024 to 31 May 2025 was presented and noted by the Executive. The plan outlines the key decisions and policy developments that will be considered by the council over the coming year.
The meeting concluded with the confirmation of the date for the next Executive meeting, scheduled for 11 June 2024.
