Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) with an update on the current year’s work programme relating to Capital and Special Revenue Projects; as well as projects identified during the course of the year for inclusion as Revenue Growth Items or Special Revenue Projects in the Council’s Revenue Budget or Capital Projects for 2026/27 and beyond.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) concerning revenue growth items, special revenue projects and capital projects for 2026/27.

Members received a list of capital programme bids for 2026/27, comprising proposals from both Committees and officers. The report outlined which projects could be funded from existing reserves and which would require additional financial resources.

Following detailed scrutiny of each item, the Committee agreed that funding for improvements to the basketball facilities at King George’s should be capped at £15,000. They further agreed that no direct allocation should be made at this stage for recreational site drainage, a water refill station at The Leys, or a contribution to Experience Oxfordshire. An annual provision of £1,250 should also be added to support potential future river de-silting work.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the revenue and capital growth items for 2026/27 be recommended for inclusion apart from the changes listed above to Full Council on 15 December 2025.
