In addition, the report seeks in principle approval for new potential projects as proposed by local community groups. Recommendations It is recommended that the Communities and Regeneration Committee: (1) recognises progress with the remaining 2022/23 programme onwards and approve projects which have potential for delivery in future financial years depending on availability of budget and community support (Appendix 1); (2) recognise the capital budget allocated to the LDP for each Community Board area for the next five financial years (Appendix 2); (3) approves amendments to existing projects and further project proposals and project criteria; (4) acknowledge current challenges faced in achieving delivery of the Local Development Programme; The Plan for North Lanarkshire Priority All priorities Ambition statement (20) Improve the involvement of communities in the decisions, and development of services and supports, that affect them

1. Background 1.1 The Policy and Strategy committee agreed, in March 2019, that all projects from 2019/20 onwards, recommended by Community Matters partnerships (now replaced by Community Boards) should be subject to agreement by the former Youth, Equalities and Empowerment Committee before proceeding beyond the in-principle/ conceptual stage. Further approvals will now be sought through the Communities and Regeneration Committee as required. 1.2 The Covid-19 pandemic impacted severely on the ability to deliver projects due to restrictions in relation to the construction industry. However, since the relaxation in restrictions, there has been positive progress and with work continuing to deliver relevant projects. Only projects that had been deemed essential and legally contracted were able to proceed. 1.3 Budget details have now been finalised as part of the council’s Strategic Capital Investment Programme for the 5-year period from 2021/22 to 2025/26, with an agreed allocation of £1.5m for each of the next 5 years. An additional £500k was approved as part of the council’s revenue budget for 2021/22. These sums are reflected in the breakdown of funding included in Appendix 2. 1.4 The amount allocated to each area reflects a reduction of up to 10% which will be earmarked for delivery and other associated costs in relation to agreed projects, this will include technical support, tendering processes, design and project management and administration. 2. Report 2.1 Criteria for Local Development Programme To be eligible for inclusion in the Community Board Local Development Programme, projects must meet the priorities of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and substantially subscribe to previously agreed criteria. The following are examples of some of the key criteria: • link to LOIP priorities • be publicly visible and accessible; • come from community groups or individual; • improve community safety; • benefit a large number of people; • improve the appearance of an area • maximise the use of alternative sources of funding. • be a capital projects on council owned land All Local Development Programme proposal forms should indicate which, if any, of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan priorities the project supports. Where the project does not align with identified priorities, evidence must be provided to show how the project will support improved local outcomes.

2.2 Project progress • Information on current and potential future projects is contained within Appendix 1. • Please note the figures in Appendix 1 are notional/indicative potential project costs and that no budget has been allocated to specific projects. • The Community Board Local Development Programme highlights the council’s commitment to community led neighbourhood regeneration. • Prioritisation work has been undertaken taking account of the allocated budgets and criteria to schedule project delivery of the current holding over the five-year budget cycle. These priorities may change as projects develop and clearer costs become available. • Where feasibility checks have identified that the project is not viable, the recommendation within Appendix 1 is to delete such projects from the list moving forward. 2.2.2 Current Delivery Challenges As previously reported to this committee, delivery of the Local Development Programme has faced a number of challenges during the current financial year due to a range of external factors. Updates on the current challenges are as follows: • Cost Inflation. As previously reported, bitmac surfacing has experienced substantial cost increases over recent months. This has led to the appointed contractor for the Bitumen Macadam (Bitmac) Repairs 2022-2026 contract (Housing Property & Projects) intimating their intention to withdraw from the contract due to financial viability. The Local Development Programme access this contract to deliver car parking projects and therefore, all such projects are currently on hold. Discussions are ongoing with the contractor to find a resolution to allow recommencement of works at the earliest opportunity. • Labour Shortages. Ongoing market engagement continues to allow us to develop accurate project timelines. Play Area projects will now have an estimated site start date of 6 months from date of contract award due to availability of suitable installers. We will continue to monitor the market position and adjust timelines as required. • Market Capacity and Demand. As previously reported, project budgets have been reprofiled and sites grouped together in lots to be more attractive to the market. This has had an immediate effect on the number and quality of tender submissions received. For future tender exercises, we will continue to structure tender lots in this way to ensure continued delivery of best value whilst meeting community aspirations. 3. Measures of success 3.1 Projects delivered within agreed timescales taking into account all relevant factors and budgetary considerations. 3.2 Local communities involved from the earliest stage in the development of project designs and delivery and are generally satisfied with the outcome. 3.3 People in communities whose voices are seldom heard are engaged in putting forward/influencing projects within their community.
