Report CSD24015

Members of the Executive considered the Councils draft 2024/25 Budget elsewhere on the agenda at their meeting on 7^th February 2024. This report set out indicative budget allocations reflected in the Draft 2024/25 Budget report for operational building maintenance against the repairs and maintenance budget.

Members of the Executive requested that further investigations be made into the proposals for St Johns Church West Wickham to clarify whether the works were the responsibility of the Council.  If the property was not owned by the London Borough of Bromley the works would not be proceeding without further Executive agreement.  The Executive requested that an update be provided following the meeting.

The report had been scrutinised by the Executive, Resources and Contracts PDS Committee at its meeting on 5 February 2024 and the Committee had supported the recommendations.
