Agenda item

To note an action in respect of the Major Works Progamme.

The Assistant Director explained the difficulties in reflecting the net zero carbon action plan within the Housing Delivery Plan.  Many projects are some way off being identified and funding for net zero carbon is a 10-year programme.  Currently, the only funding certainty is for the current Major Works Programme, which has been extended from 5 to 6/7 years, and the Housing Management and Almshouses Sub Committee receives regular updates. The work identified as part of the recent Savills stock condition survey (Phase 2 of the Major Works Programme) does not currently have available funding.  

The Chamberlain confirmed that work was underway with the Assistant Director and his team to refresh all existing projects and their funding.  Members would receive an initial report in December, covering HRA revenue costs and budget estimates.  The Assistant Director reminded Members that the reports on the current programme are regularly presented to the Housing Sub Committee, including Phase 2 of the Major Works Programme.
