Additional Funding confirmed from Scottish Government and services for expenditure incurred in 2025/26.

has resilience and this will be monitored and reported to council to consider whether the project is still required.

Explanation
Ecological and Planning issues have delayed the final design development.
Project complete, cost less than anticipated.  
Project delivered under budget.
The reason for reprofiling is that the construction costs increased significantly which prompted a scope review to allow the project affordability.  The Project Board recommended reducing the original scope which
was agreed at the Council meeting on 30 October 2024.  The overall budget has increased to £46,942,156, which will be split between City Deal £23.991m and Council £22.951m. The total budget has been
profiled to reflect the 30 October 2025 Council report.

Explanation
Following transition of design team to Resources, a reprofiling of budget required over financial years was carried out and as a result acceleration of £5.715m budget was required from 25/26 into 24/25 to align with
spend profile.  Programme of works is currently ahead of schedule.
Project delayed due to late confirmation of grant which prevented the programming of works.  Works required to be carried out during recess periods.
Additional funding received from the Scottish Government funding to review speed limits around schools as part of Asset Management Plan.
Expenditure in 2024/25 is less than expected.
