Council chief says current building programme is "not affordable"
02.12.2022 - 11:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Perth and Kinross Council's flagship projects such as Perth High School and replacing Perth Leisure Pool are in doubt.
The council's chief executive has warned councillors PKC currently cannot afford its bumper six-year £683 million capital programme.
He told a council committee this week rising costs meant the council had recently "agreed £77 million of additional costs for nothing".
The stark news came in an update to Perth and Kinross Council's Finance and Resources Committee on the 2022-28 Composite Capital Budget.
A report written by senior accountant John Jennings told councillors "the delivery of all the approved projects and programmes within the current six-year capital budget is no longer expected to be affordable under the current funding strategy due to the impact of contract inflation alone."
Councillors this year approved a further £33.2 million for the Cross Tay Link Road and another £18.7 million for the replacement Perth High School - just two of many capital projects.
In September 2022 councillors were told PKC faced an estimated £30 million funding gap between its forecast expenditure in 2023/24 and its funding.
At Wednesday's meeting Blairgowrie and Glens councillor Tom McEwan questioned when work would start on Blairgowrie Recreation Centre.
The SNP councillor said: "Why are we where we are with Blairgowrie Recreation Centre and what other options have been explored to solve the issue of just building the damn thing?"
PKC's head of Business and Resources Greg Boland said they were "very close now to reaching financial close on the project" with plans to bring the the full business case before Perth and Kinross Council on December 21.
But chief executive Thomas Glen brought a sobering reality

‘Terminator’ James Cameron Says He’s Had Discussions About Relaunching The Franchise & Directing It
James Cameron’s epic “Avatar: The Way Of Water” film is in theaters now, and it grossed $430 million this weekend globally—the second-highest global opening of 2022 after “Doctor Strange And The Multiverse of Madness.” There’s been talk that this is a low figure, or disappointing or whatever—to be fair, the film was tracking to anywhere as high as $170 million domestic, and the film only grossed $134 million in North America, which is a bit soft—one has to remember the context of a lot of December releases which tend to have a slow build.
