Revenue Implications:- Virement Implications:- n/a n/a The allocation set aside for community groups to apply for remains uncommitted at this stage, as we currently have no active or pending requests for funding. Given the absence of demand in the current financial year, the budget is proposed to be reprofiled into 26/27. Reprofiling will ensure that the funding remains available and aligned with future community needs, allowing groups sufficient time to develop proposals and submit applications. This approach supports effective financial management by preventing underspend in the current year while safeguarding the resource for its intended purpose. The budget will continue to be monitored, and officers will engage with community organisations ahead of and into the 26/27 financial year.

What action will be taken to rectify the position? New Completion Date: 31/03/2027 Scottish Government funding What are the implications on the actions proposed? Revenue Implications:- Virement Implications:- n/a Source of Funding: n/a Progress on this project has been delayed as it is dependent on the completion of a linked project that has not yet reached its required milestones. Key elements of the planned works cannot proceed until the preceding project is finalised, resulting in unavoidable slippage to the project’s delivery timeline. To ensure accurate financial planning and alignment with the revised programme, it is proposed that the associated budget be reprofiled into the next financial year. This reprofiling will allow expenditure to be matched to the updated schedule and will support efficient delivery once the prerequisite project is completed. Source of Funding: n/a Delivery of the sports changing facility has been delayed due to dependency on the adjacent housing development, which has not progressed in line with the original programme. The sequencing of works requires the housing development to reach specific construction stages before site access, utilities connections, and shared infrastructure can be finalised for the changing facility. As these prerequisite elements remain incomplete, the project cannot move into its planned construction phase. This has resulted in unavoidable slippage, and expenditure originally profiled for the current financial year will not be incurred as expected. It is therefore proposed that the budget for the sports changing facility be reprofiled into the next financial year to reflect the revised delivery timeline. This approach maintains alignment between project milestones and financial planning, ensuring that funding remains in place once the adjacent development has advanced sufficiently to allow works to proceed. Officers will continue to monitor progress on the housing development closely and will update the programme for the changing facility as soon as conditions permit. Project development and tendering taking longer than anticipated. Source of Funding: n/a
