Capital Projects

A total of £3,325,000 was given to the council to spend on capital schemes that fulfil the Liveability criteria. This is distributed as follows:

£300,000 for schemes sponsored by the six Community Boards (£50,000 per board). These schemes should be in the areas covered by each of the boards, and should fit one or more of the categories for capital expenditure.
£60,000 for an Public Realm Design Framework to set up good quality design mechanisms across the borough. The framework will give guidance about design elements of future open space developments in the borough, and will help to attract further funding through developers contributions that can be put into improvement of the quality of our streets, parks and open spaces.
£2,965,000 to fund major capital projects across the borough. On the 8 February 2005 the Council's Executive agreed the following strategic capital projects:
