8. Corporate Asset Management Plan, Capital Strategy and Performance of Property Portfolio

Councillor Janet Godden wishes to state the following:

Agenda item 6, paragraphs 40-46 (capital programme) and the table on p.14.

Paragraph 43 shows that the capital programme is forecast to have a surplus of £22m at the end of 2005-06, yet the table on p.14 shows that no capital funding has been allocated to the Day centres for Older People for the year 2006-07. I fully realise that much of the £22m is already committed, or accounted for by slippage, but I hope nevertheless that the Cabinet will feel able to review its priorities and ensure that the day centre programme is funded. The Cabinet will remember that this scheme arose from a thorough review, conducted under the auspices of Age Concern. The findings of this review were beyond dispute, as are demographic pressures in services for older adults. It is hard to regard the day centres scheme as an optional luxury. I hope the Cabinet will feel able to regard it as a necessity.

9. Taking forward the Change Agenda

On 10 November, the Corporate Governance Scrutiny Committee Scrutiny Committee agreed to forward comments to the Cabinet as follows:

    • Concerns were raised about the resources/financial implications required for the full implementation of Taking Forward the Change Agenda.

    • The Committee queried whether the Cabinet had a system for monitoring/tracking its programme.

    • The importance of the effective communication of Taking Forward the Change Agenda throughout the Council was recognised and supported.

15. Minerals & Waste Local Development Framework - Annual Monitoring Report 2005

On 9 November, the Environment & Economy Scrutiny Committee agreed to endorse the key contents set out in the Annex to the report as the basis of the Annual Monitoring Report 2005 for the Oxfordshire Minerals & Waste Development Framework, subject to:
        1. supporting the Cabinet in Lobbying the Government in objecting to the proposed Oxfordshire Sand and Gravel apportionment in the proposed changes to RPG9;
        2. expressing concern over the lack of provision for waste recycling within the County, particularly in relation to municipal waste;
        3. asking the Cabinet to urge the Environment Agency and DEFRA to produce reliable and comprehensive data, particularly on waste management capacity.
