Matter for Decision

The report provided a review of the Environmental Improvement Capital Programme’s performance over its four year extension period, 2011/12-2014/15.  The review included a breakdown of the various local improvement schemes, including local highway projects, delivered through the programme to date; and the pipeline of schemes remaining to be delivered by March 2016.  With the current programme budget ending March 2016, the report outlines the need to consider an extension of the programme for a further agreed period, as part of the corporate budget setting process.
