Overall Position

2.2The shortfall in receipts required to fully fund the capital programme was £9.579m. Temporary unsupported borrowing will be required until sufficient receipts have been received in the new year to meet the shortfall.

2.3The increase in the shortfall was due to substantial capital receipts from disposals at BoysnopeWharf, the Withies and Radclyffe St Clements school being delayed past the end of the financial year.

2.4The 2008/09 capital programme will now be updated to reflect the 2007/08 outturn position and the first monitoring report will be submitted to this Committee in July.

2.5Appendix 1 provides the detail of the capital financing statement.
