Subject: Roads & Neighbourhood Delivery Plan 2021/22 Year End progress
1 Purpose
1.1 This report provides members with the year-end progress of the 2021/22
Delivery Plan. 
2 Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that Committee notes the year-end position for 2021/22.
3 Background
3.1 Each Chief Officer develops an annual Delivery Plan which sets out actions to
help deliver the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and
service priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an
overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets
out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the
relevant risks
3.2 Progress is reported to this Committee twice yearly, at mid-year and year-end.
4. Main Issues
2021/22 Year-end Performance
4.1 The 2021/22 Delivery Plan was presented to IRED Committee on 12 May
2021 and mid-year progress reported on 17 November 2021.
4.2 Full details of year-end progress are set out at Appendix 1 and summarised
below.
4.3 Of the 21 actions set out in the plan, 14 have been completed in year as
planned and seven were outstanding. Incomplete actions relate to the
following and will be carried forward and completed in 2022/23:
 Deliver new gymnasium, changing facilities and all weather running
track
 Review business plans to align activities, identify opportunities to
reduce duplication, an identify learning opportunities (under R&N
services collaborative programme)
ITEM 6
Page 57

Page 6

 Finalise the delivery of a suitable new allotment site with provision for
40 traditional plots 
 Continue to work collaboratively with Argyll & Bute and Inverclyde
Councils to develop a best value proposal for procuring the reception,
transportation, treatment and compliant disposal of biodegradable
municipal waste
 Produce a business case for the development of a waste transfer
station within Council’s boundary
 Complete phase 1 of the Fit for Service review of waste services
 Produce a revised service delivery model that reflects the changes in
quantities of plastic and glass collections due to the introduction of a
national deposit return scheme. 
4.4 Data is available for eight of the 16 PIs set out in the plan. Five met or
exceeded targets (green), one narrowly missed target (amber) and two were
further adrift of targets (red). The latter relate to the following, both of which
were impacted by an increase in waste; 
 Tonnage of biodegradable municipal waste landfilled 
 Percentage of total household waste that is recycled 
4.5 Five performance indicators showed improvement in both the short and long
term trend and one showed improvement in the short trend. 
4.5  The full set of PIs will be reported through the Council’s annual performance
reporting process later in 2021/22. 
4.6 Quality standards were set out in the 2021/22 Delivery Plan to help define
what service users can expect to receive, and remind both the organisation
and employees of the challenges and obligations they face in delivering best
value services. Of the ten PIs measuring quality standards, six met or
exceeded targets (green) two narrowly missed target (amber) two were further
adrift of the targets (red). Full details are set out in Appendix 2. 
5 People Implications

Council grant consent to approve for the sublease of 3 Birch Road and 1
Overburn Avenue, Broadmeadow Industrial Estate, Dumbarton.
2. Recommendations
2.1      It is recommended that the Committee:

as Common Good ground, these site must stay within West Dunbartonshire
Council ownership.
3.2 Dumbarton District Council entered into the lease with Aggreko for 3 Birch
Road on November 1st August 1990 for a period of 109 years.
ITEM 14
Page 71

Page 20

3.3 West Dunbartonshire Council entered into the lease with Aggreko for 1
Overburn Avenue on 28th November 1998 for a period of 100 years.
3.4 The sites are currently occupied by Aggreko on long leases, however due to
Aggreko having their new unit located at Lomond gate the sites at Birch Road
and Overburn Avenue are now surplus to their requirements. 
3.5 Two local companies have approached Aggreko looking to expand their
business within the Dumbarton area and are keen to sublease the sites from
Aggreko, to enable business expansion.
4. Main Issues
3 Birch Road
4.1 The site is let to Aggreko for a term of 100 years with 77 years remaining.
4.2 Aggreko have been approached by HBR Dumbarton Limited to sublease the
site at 3 Birch Road.
4.3 HBR Dumbarton Limited are a local company who specialises in mechanical,
accident repair and recovery. Along with specialising in body work, powder-
coating and alloy restoration. They are a local business who have been
operating within Dumbarton for 11 years, growing a successful business.
1 Overburn Avenue
4.4 The site is let to Aggreko for a term of 100 years with 76 years remaining.
4.5 Aggreko have been approached by CPR (Scotland) Limited to sublease the

have been trading within West Dumbarton for a period of 21 years, with their
business successfully growing over the years. CPR are now looking to
expand their business further.
4.7 Should either company cease trading then Aggreko would be liable for the
remainder of the term of the lease thus the Council would not be at any
detriment.
4.8 Both leases have been subject to recent rent reviews and this is reflective in
the current rental figure and upward only rent reviews will take place every 5
years.
Page 72

Page 21

5. People Implications
5.1 There are no significant people implications other than the legal department
documentation to conclude the subleases.

6.1 The Council will benefit from a continued rental for a period of 76/77 years
with 5 yearly upward only rent reviews.
6.2 The rental values reflect current market rents, which have been agreed as of
this year.
6.3 There are no procurement implications arising from this report.
7. Risk Analysis
7.1 As with any transaction of this nature there is a risk of the sublease not
proceeding due to issues which arise during the due diligence process and
the site will fall back to the responsibility of Aggreko for the remainder of the
leases.
8. Environmental Sustainability
8.1 We are keeping industrial businesses located within an area which is classed
for industrial use.
9. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA)
9.1 An Equality Impact Assessment is not applicable for the purpose of this
report.
10. Consultation
10.1 Consultations of other departments are not applicable for the purpose if this
report.
11. Strategic Assessment
11.1 By agreeing to this proposal the Council will benefit in terms of receiving an
ongoing rental for a further period of 76/77 years with upwards only rent
reviews.

11.2 The sub leases would enable two local companies to expand their business’
providing more jobs within the local community thus contributing to the
Council’s strategic priority for a strong local economy and improved job
opportunities.

WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL 
Report by Chief Officer - Resources 
Infrastructure, Regeneration & Economic Development Committee:
17 August 2022
___________________________________________________________________
Subject: Infrastructure, Regeneration & Economic Development Budgetary
Control Report 2022/23 to Period 3 (30 June 2022)
1. Purpose
1.1 This report provides an update on the financial performance to 30 June 2022
of those services under the auspices of the Infrastructure, Regeneration &
Economic Development Committee (IRED).
2. Recommendations
2.1 Members are asked to:
i) note the contents of this report showing the revenue budget forecast to
overspend against budget by £0.486m (4.00%) at the year-end, of
which £0.064m is COVID-19 related, therefore the non-covid variance
is currently projected at £0.422m adverse;
ii) note the net projected annual position in relation to relevant capital
projects which is highlighting a projected variance of £1.962m
(1.09%) due to slippage of £1.971m (1.10%) and an underspend of
£0.009m (0.001%).
iii) note the progress on efficiencies incorporated into budgets for 2022/23;
and
iv) note the projects to be accelerated.
3. Background
Revenue
3.1 At the meeting of West Dunbartonshire Council on 9 March 2022, Members
agreed the revenue estimates for 2022/23. A total net budget of £12.891m
was approved for IRED services.
Capital
3.2 At the meeting of Council on 9 March 2022, Members also agreed the
updated 10 year General Services Capital Plan for 2022/2023 to 2031/2032.
The next three years from 2021/22 to 2023/24 have been approved in detail
with the remaining years being indicative at this stage. The total project life
budget approved for projects that have either commenced or are due to
commence in that period total £179.698m.
ITEM 16

4. Main Issues
Revenue Budget
4.1  The current budgetary position is summarised in Appendix 1.  A more detailed
analysis by service is given in Appendix 2. Of the 13 services monitored 7 are
showing either a favourable or nil variance, with 6 services showing an
adverse variance. Comments are shown in Appendix 3 when there are
projected net annual variances greater than £0.050m and also where the net
variance is below £0.050m but there are offsetting variances of over £0.050m
within the service.
4.2 Appendix 1 shows the probable outturn for the services at £13.305m. As the
annual budget is £12.819m there is currently a projected adverse variance for
the year of £0.486m, of which £0.064m is COVID-19 related, therefore the
non-covid variance is currently projected at £0.422m adverse.
4.3 Officers will continue to manage the budgets as closely as possible
throughout the year and it is hoped that by tight budgetary control expenditure
may be brought in on line.
Capital Budget
4.4 The overall programme summary report is shown in Appendix 4. Information
on projects in the red category for probable underspends or overspends in-
year and in total is provided in Appendices 5 together with additional
information on action being taken to minimise or mitigate slippage and/or
overspends where possible and detail on projects within the green category
are shown in Appendix 6.The analysis shows that for the in-year planned
spend there is currently a projected in-year variance of £1.962m of which
£1.971m relates to project slippage and an in-year underspend of £0.009m.
Officers review regularly the in-year position to consider options to maximise
the effective use of capital resources
4.5 From the analysis within the appendices it can be seen that there is one
project with forecast slippage over £0.500m, as listed as follows:
Project Name
Slippage
(£m)
Bus Cycling and Walking Infrastructure 0.552
5. People Implications
5.1 There are no people implications.
6. Financial Implications
6.1 Other than the financial position noted above, there are no financial
implications of the budgetary control report. Officers are currently reviewing
Page 76

Page 25

budgets and projections with a view to improving the position by financial year
end and progress will be highlighted in future reports to committee.
7. Risk Analysis
7.1 The present variances should be viewed in the knowledge that there are a
number of variable factors which could arise between now and 31 March and
which could affect the year end results for both the revenue and capital
budgets.
7.2 Assumptions around service demand and timing of nationally agreed changes
through the phasing out of lockdown change regularly and therefore there is a
significant risk that the projected year end budgetary position will change from
that reported.
8. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA)
8.1 The report is for noting and therefore no Equalities Impact Assessment was
completed for this report.
9 Consultation
9.1 The views of both Finance and Legal services have been requested on this
report and both have advised there are neither any issues nor concerns with
the proposal. As the report is for noting no further consultation is envisaged.
10. Strategic Assessment
10.1 Proper budgetary control and sound financial practice are cornerstones of
good governance and support Council and officers to pursue the five strategic
priorities of the Council’s Strategic Plan. This report forms part of the financial
governance of the Council. This report is for noting and, therefore, does not
directly affect any of the strategic priorities.

Anticipated Outcome
An adverse variance is anticipated
This service relates to Roads operations, design, structures, street lighting,
road safety and school crossing patrols
Employee costs are adverse (£65k) because overtime is projected to be in
excess of budget although this is partly offset by additional grant income
(£30k). Electricity (£19k) and street lighting (£22k) costs have increased
during the year to a level not anticipated when the budget was set.
management will continue to monitor all budget heads with a view to
minimising the overspend
This service covers the outdoor sporting facilities provided by WDC and
public conveniences
Employee costs are favourable (£53k) because of a number of vacancies.
This favourable variance has offset the adverse variance against
electricity/gas (£24k).

set.
None possible at this time
A small adverse variance is anticipated
Overspend anticipated
Gas costs are higher than budgeted (£15k) while income is projected to be
less than budgeted , particularly from plaques/books of remembrance etc
(£25k)
management will continue to monitor all budget heads with a view to
minimising the overspend
none possible at present
Employee costs are higher (£176k) as projected savings from waste route
optimisation ,which depend on operating from a single depot, are not yet
achievable . Expenditure on bin replacements is higher (£71k) than
anticipated when the budget was set. These have been partly offset by
reduced vehicle hires (£45k).

Service Description This service provides asset and estate management
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
Mitigating Action
Anticipated Outcome
Overall Corporate Assets/ Capital Investment Programme has a small
adverse variance of £3k. However, there are favourable and adverse
variances which offset each other. The main ones being: There has been
an over recovery of income of £35k due to good estates management and
maximising income.    
There is also a favourable variance on employee costs of £70k due to
current vacancies.    
However, there is an adverse variance because, Aon/BAM PPP issued an
Insurance Cost Sharing Report in December 2020, with a cost share of
£117k to the Authority. In May 2021 they issued a statement that there was
an error in the report and the sum should have read a cost share of £18k
and not £117k. All information was passed to WDC’s insurance broker for
review who have recently confirmed there is no grounds to challenge the
revised figure. This results in and adverse variance of £104k within supplies
and services.
Income and expenditure will continue to be monitored throughout the year.
A small overspend is anticipated

Main Issues / Reason for Variance
LED budget is invested across our town centres and strategic sites and is used to develop and implement projects as well as providing match
funding to lever in external funding. During 2022/2023 the key projects to be developed and delivered include a contribution towards Smollett
Fountain public realm, enabling works at Mitchell Way subject to the timescale of the developer, development costs associated with Dumbarton
Waterfront, the Arc of Attraction Strategy and in Clydebank implementation of the Development Framework and delivery of the Activities Centre.
Many regeneration projects are subject to factors outwith Council control and close monitoring of the programming is required. A contingency is
included for increasing costs and new funding opportunities.

Main Issues / Reason for Variance
The remaining Town Centre Fund will be spent on the Smollett Fountain public realm works which will be completed by the end of the financial

Main Issues / Reason for Variance
The remaining Regeneration Fund projects are Dumbarton Waterfront Path; the contribution towards the costs of Glencairn House; Connecting
Dumbarton; and the Scottish Marine Technology Park at the former Carless site. As Levelling Up Fund is programmed to be spent before
Regeneration Fund for Glencairn House and Connecting Dumbarton, it is not anticipated that any Regeneration Fund will be spent on these
projects during this financial year and will be carried forward. Spend against The £2.0m Clyde Mission funding for SMTP will continue during the
financial year 2022/2023 before an agreement is reached on the £2.0m of Regeneration Fund investment. Dumbarton Waterfront Path will be
