In response to a question from the Vice-Chairman, the Head of Finance: Children, Education and Families confirmed that Section 106 funding for education purposes was held within the Basic Need budget.  Regular reports were made to the Children, Education and Families PDS Committee on the allocation of Section 106 funds, with all projects taking account of any geographical or time requirements of specific funds.  A Member was concerned at the out-of-date commentary for some schemes within the Approved Capital Programme and this would be flagged with the Principal Accountant following the meeting.  In response to another question, the Director of Children, Education and Families reported that the refurbishment of the Saxon Family Contact Centre had been successfully completed.
