To consider a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Service, which seek approvals for three schemes funded from the Schools Condition Allocation (SCA) grant.

The Panel considered a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (item 9 in the minute book) regarding school condition allocation projects and to recommend approval by the Executive Member for Commercial Strategy, Property and Estates.

The schemes were summarised and it was confirmed that additional grant money had been received to contribute towards the projects. It was noted that inflation was a concern due to material costs increasing, but the school projects were time dependent and it was not feasible to wait for costs to decrease.


RESOLVED

The Panel recommended that the Executive Member for Commercial Strategy, Estates and Property:  

a)      Approve the allocation of an additional £349,500 of Schools Condition Allocation grant to the scheme to upgrade the atrium roof at Crestwood School, with a revised total scheme value of £2,390,580. 

b)      Approve the allocation of an additional £400,000 of Schools Condition Allocation grant to the scheme to upgrade the roof at Stoke Park Infants School, with a revised total scheme value of £1,300,000. 

c)      Recommend the addition of the scheme for the upgrade of the roof at Rowlands Castle St John’s CEC Primary School to the 2021/22 capital programme at a value of £407,000 funded from the 2021/22 Schools Condition Allocation grant.

d)      Approve the project appraisals for the roof upgrades to Crestwood School atrium, Stoke Park Infant school and St John’s CEC Primary School set out in the report.
