KEY DECISION

That Executive approved the following changes to the capital programme:

a.      Earls Barton Library Improvements, increase of £0.051m to the capital programme for 2022/23, to be funded from Section 106 Developer Contributions

b.      Safer Streets, increase of £0.546m to the capital programme; £0.312m in 2022/23 and £0.234m in 2023/24, which is to be funded from Home Office Safer Streets Fund and in partnership with the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

Reasons for the recommendation are set out in greater detail within section 5 of the report, but can be summarised as:

·         To improve facilities at the Earls Barton library.

·         To promote safer streets in targeted areas with higher-than-average crime and anti-social behaviour.

Alternative Options Considered:

·         Use of the funding is in line with the agreement, there is no alternative option proposed.

·         By not approving these recommendations there would be an adverse impact on service provision and the completion of projects in North Northamptonshire.
