To consider a report of the Chief Fire Officer, which seeks further funding of £1.7 million to deliver the second year of priority estate improvement works in the 2022/23 financial year.

The Authority considered a report from the Chief Fire Officer (item 8 in the minute book) regarding further funding of £1.7 million to deliver the second year of priority estate improvement works in the 2022/23 financial year.

The report was summarised with paragraph 18 highlighted, which detailed works to date on the Isle of Wight estate. It was confirmed that local jobs were important and local firms were used alongside existing national framework contracts as much as possible.

Councillor Stephens welcomed the proposals and the community use opportunities, which would generate income as well as introduce people to the Service.

RESOLVED

Option 1 was approved by the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Authority and £1.7 million funding to deliver works across the island estate in 2022/23 financial year is allocated from one-off revenue resources in 2022/23 as set out in the Budget Report.
