Progress with the delivery of the walkway is slower than anticipated and relies on cooperation with the landowners. Delivery of the Dumbarton Visitor Gateway/Arc of Attractions re-profiled to allow sufficient time for Council wide Tourism Strategy to be developed.Development of Balloch Pierhead project would be scheduled for 2027/28 and is subject to a future approval. This is a reallocation and re-profiling of the recurring budget for Regeneration/Local Economic Development which is now being split out and monitored. Place Based investment Programme funding (PBIP) is a non-competitive funding from the Scottish Government.Part of the funding is allocated to Alexandria Main Street/Mitchell Way project which is due to start on site in early 2027. Project development has taken longer than originally anticipated. Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF) funding from the Scottish Government, for Malin to deliver remediation of the former Carless oil Terminal site. This reprofiing alligns with the initial assumption made when the funding was awarded. Financial Year 2026/27 is a project development year, and only limited spend is expected on delivery. This is in line with the spend profile included in the Regeneration Plan and approved by the UK Government. Reprofiling of the funding is acceptable under the funding terms & conditions and this alligns budget with the initial assumption made when the funding was awarded. This budget is proposed to be rephased to 2027/28. Planning permission has been secured and the project is progressing through detailed design, building warrant approvals and site investigations. Due to the complexity of delivering works within an operational school environment, including the need to minimise disruption to pupils and staff, the construction programme and associated expenditure are now expected to fall predominantly within 2027/28. The rephasing aligns the budget with the revised delivery programme and anticipated expenditure profile.

Additional budget is therefore required to ensure full delivery of the intended milestones. This is a reallocation and re-profiling of the recurring budget for ICT Modernisation which is now being split out and monitored. Reprofiling is required due to ongoing work to roll out the digital strategy and a review of priorities. This is a reallocation and re-profiling of the recurring budget for ICT Modernisation HSCP which is now being split out and monitored. Reprofiling is required to consolidate the 2026/27 budget with the small balancing budget from 2027/28.
