Cabinet considered a report on the schools capital grant allocation for 2017/18 to 2019/20, and the proposed strategy for expenditure, based on the priorities contained within the School Place Provision Strategy 2017/18 to 2019/20.
It was reported that, following publication of the report, two additional projects had been identified requiring urgent funding allocations in order to address immediate condition related remedial works, and it was proposed that the Schools Condition allocation proposals, as set out in the report, be amended to reflect the position as follows.
