Meeting documents

The Capital Strategy before Cabinet outlined the Council’s Capital Programme, together with new capital proposals for 2018-19 to 2023-24, and the Treasury Management Annual Strategy report for 2019-20. The aforementioned reports had previously been presented separately to Cabinet, but were now being presented together as the Capital Strategy to meet the new requirement under the revised CIPFA Prudential Code 2018. The Capital Strategy set out the Council’s approach to the identification of capital expenditure needs.

An amendment was requested to move the portfolio grouping of the Wycombe Community Hub and Surgery Development from Environment to Community within exempt appendix 2C of the report, this was noted by the S151 officer.
