To consider a report of the Executive Councillor (Corporate, Customer & Community Services)

The purpose of this report is to seek approval to the Asset Management Plan (AMP) capital programme for 2015/16 to 2017/18 and the funding arrangements to support the programme. At this stage, given the prospect of significant changes in the Council’s property requirements as the Investing In Stockport programme is developed and implemented, the Executive is being asked to approve the 2015/16 programme for implementation and funding, and to approve as indicative the programme for 2016/17–2017/18 subject to a further update and recommendations during 2015/16.

The Executive is recommended to approve the following:-

·         The 2015/16 AMP programme for implementation and funding and the Indicative AMP programme for 2016/17 to 2017/18

·         The application of corporate resources to fund the AMP programme 2015/2016 to 2017/2018; with the application of funding types (capital receipts (including total achieved from ORP) and borrowing) being delegated to the Corporate Director, Corporate and Support Services in conjunction with the Estates Strategy Group (ESG).

·         The ECP phase 1 for implementation, where the funding required is derived from the energy reduction measures within the programme and the matching of Salix funding capital projects where appropriate up to the proposed allocation outlined in the report.

·         That the Executive and the CRMG Scrutiny Committee receive annual updates, which will report progress and the effects of any other programmes, in particular Investing in Stockport.
