Consideration was given to the report of the Head of Community Services which was presented to provide Members with updated information on the progress of capital projects over £500,000 in cost, undertaken within the Authority and, where appropriate, seek the necessary approval required under the Contract Procedural Rules to additional expenditure incurred on a particular project.

The Head of Community Services spoke to the report and highlighted the main points contained therein.

In response to a Member’s question regarding the challenge for compensation for the demolition of Abertillery Leisure Centre, the Head of Community Services said that this was currently in litigation and was being pursued. Evidence had been presented to the Council’s Legal team and he hoped for the best possible resolution.

The Committee AGREED to recommend that the report be accepted and endorse Option 2; namely that the information included within the report be accepted as presented.
