141.1 The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director for Families, Children & Learning in relation to Education Capital Resources and Capital Investment Programme 2016/2017. In order to determine an overall Capital Programme for Brighton & Hove City Council, each service was asked to consider its capital investment requirements, within the level of allocated resources for 2017/18. The purpose of the report was to inform the Committee of the level of available capital resources allocated to this service for 2017/18 and to recommend a Capital Investment Programme for 2017/18. To allocate funding available in the capital programme under Pupil Places and Condition investment for 2017/18. The Chair noted the report had also been considered by the Children, Young People & Skills Committee on 6 March 2017, as set out in the associated extract.
141.2 In response to questions from Councillor Sykes the following responses were provided. Smaller works for schools were allocated centrally through the capital grant. Complex negotiations were ongoing in relation to the site of the new secondary school in the city, but it was not possible to comment on any potential location at this time.
141.3 In response to Councillor A. Norman it was explained that work was ongoing to remove ‘medium risk’ asbestos from the city’s schools; however, as most of the schools were built pre-2000 it was likely they contained some hidden asbestos.
141.4 The Chair then put the recommendations to the vote.
