Councillor Duncan Enright, Cabinet Member for Travel & Development Strategy, introduced the report describing it as a good overview of the use of resources secured on behalf of the community as well as an indicator of the pace of the provision of infrastructure.

Councillor Calum Miller noted that 20% of the funds currently held by the Council have been allocated to projects and that no funds had to repaid in the three most recent financial years thanks to the close monitoring of the funds by officers.

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor Enright, seconded by Councillor Sudbury and agreed.

RESOLVED to:

a)                  Consider the content of the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2021/22.
