Installs are behind original planned targets, however the combined internal and external contractor resources are showing an
upturn in completions and an overall improving position.  Officers will continue to monitor and support this position to maintain
improvements.  Full budget spend was not possible in 21/22, rephasing of £2.474m required to be carried to 22/23 for
continuation of works.

The current year variance of £12.892m is made up of  £8.503m slippage on existing sites, predominantly Clydebank East, 
£4.443m slippage on future new builds, and there is a net overspend of £0.054m.  The overspend is made up of an
underspend on anticpated support costs of £0.619m, an overspend on Dumbarton Harbour Ph3 of £0.616m and overspend of
£0.030m on Second Ave development.  Site specific updates will be provided in the first report of 22/23.
All projects have now been reprofiled and in the case of Clydebank East it is now anticipate a site start late 2022.

Project Description
Project Lifecycle 31-Mar-22 31-Mar-23
Glasgow Airport has committed to develop and implement a Noise Insulation Policy to mitigate noise for residents most
affected by aviation noise.  To develop this the Council has committed to working jointly with the Airport to procure a leading
expert in the field to manage the trial on behalf of our collective organisations and ultimately develop a phased programme of
works in parallel with existing window replacement and insulation programmes to mitigate the noise experienced by tenants
within a specified area.  However the planned activity was put on hold during 2021 due to the COVID pandemic and the
inability to access properties and also the lack of aircraft flying to facilitate a meaningful trial. In that time, the airport
requirement to roll out a permanent insulation scheme has taken precedence for Glasgow Airport Authorities. The full scheme
should have launched in early 2022 and we await further information as to the reason for such a delay, WDC are considering
how reallocation of the earmarked budget could be best utilised towards noise improvement.  It is possible that funds could be
used to supplement the Airport contribution where additional improvements are possible but in excess of the allocated airport
financial contribution.  This will be reviewed and recommendations made once in receipt of the airport scheme outline.
Mitigating Action
There is regular dialogue between the Council and Glasgow Airport, and there is the basis of an agreed delivery plan which
was ready to be implemented prior to the pausing of the project.  This can be re-established immediately by both parties,
however it has to be recognised the nature of works will not complete until 22/23, however both parties still remain committed
to its delivery.
Anticipated Outcome
Slippage is required to be carried forward into 22/23.

year final retention payment was less than anticipated, remaining balance to be slipped into 22/23 for budget to meet costs to
resolve a legacy roofing issue.

This project overspent in 21/22 due to a high demand on necessary essential works.  There has been a larger number of
renewals and referrals in 21/22 than anticipated at time of budget setting, resulting in an overspend on the current year budget.
Mitigating Action
This budget is for essential work and is demand led so difficult to mitigate.
Anticipated Outcome
Overspend in 21/22.

Anticipated Outcome
Remaining budget will be required to be slipped into 22/23.
Planned End Date Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
Roof renewal programme continues.  Monthly tracking is behind cumulative targets however additional installs by support
contractor is underway and this should help with completions.  Recent completions incorporating those by support contractor
are showing an improving position however it is was not possible for full budget catch up in 21/22 and remaining budget is
required to be rephased to 22/23.
Mitigating Action
Progress on this will continue to be monitored closely as works continue into 22/23.
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
The main objective of the Buy Back Scheme is to bring former council properties that were sold through the RTB scheme,
back into council use.  These properties must assist the council with reducing housing need on the waiting list and where
appropriate assist with external capital works. For these reasons, any purchase is subject to stringent criteria to ensure
accountability and value for money for existing tenants.  With several key stakeholders involved, this has meant full budget
spend has not been possible in 21/22, with remaining budget required to be carried forward to 22/23.  
Anticipated Outcome
Budget did not fully spend in 21/22 as there were a number of mitigating factors including the prioritisation of staff resource on
new build activities.  Officers will ensure  maximisation of spend to meet project priorities and increased activity in 22/23.
Buy Backs
This is a budget to undertake specific projects that will deliver housing policies/strategies,
example: Ex local authority and mortgage to rent buy-back scheme
Planned End Date Forecast End Date
Mitigating Action
Officers will continue efforts to maximise buy-backs, in an effort to increase delivery of the scheme and positively impact and
minimise slippage.

Anticipated Outcome

Planned End Date Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
While pandemic restrictions stalled some proposed initiatives throughout 20/21, it was anticipated that this would be less
impacted throughout 21/22, however Officers have experienced a number of issues in relation to supply and materials that
have curtailed progress particularly on new workstream.  Nevertheless, a number of priority initiatives, supported by the Better
Homes Project Board,  are already being investigated and are envisaged to have a positive impact on the current council
housing stock and budget is required to be slipped to 22/23 to carry out these works.

Main Issues / Reason for Variance
An update report on this project was on the agenda for 27th October 2021 Council.  This advised that the expected spend on
replacing Spandrel panels will no longer be required but instead a variety of issues affecting Multi Stories will be reviewed and
incorporated into the 2022 High Rise strategy.  This resulted in approval to vire the underspend of £0.900m to the statutory/
regulatory compliance works project to offset the overspend related to the smoke detector installation programme.  The
reamining 21/22 budget of £0.300m is required to be carried forward to 22/23 £0.300m for MSF Fire Risk Assessment Works.

priorities. Works are now complete and upon allocation of support costs, project completed on budget.

Spend to Date Variance
None required at this time.
Anticipated Outcome
The project life overall variance will be favourable by £1.023m due to additional Scottish Government Grant Income.
Grant to facilitate the building of new build housing 
Planned End Date  Forecast End Date
Main Issues / Reason for Variance
Overall, there is a favourable project life variance of £1.023m which relates to additional grant income successfully negotiated
by Officers in relation to the increased grant per unit at Aitkenbar, Haldane and Dumbarton Harbour and the additional grant
generated from the buyback scheme.  Current year adverse variance of £4.091m relates to new builds which are not expected
to progress until next financial year.
