NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 
23 January 2024 
Cabinet 
Title:    Capital Programme and Treasury Management Performance
to 30 November 2023 
Purpose:  To advise Cabinet of progress in delivering the Capital
Investment Programme 2023/24 and the associated Treasury
Management performance to 30 November 2023. 
Recommendation:  That Cabinet agrees to:
(a)  note the revisions to budgets outlined in the report; 
(b)  note (i) the General Services and HRA revised budgets at 30
November 2023; and (ii) the forecast expenditure to 31
March 2024; 
(c) approve the virement proposals noted within the HRA
programme detailed in appendix 2; and
(d)  note the estimated performance against the Prudential
Indicators set out in the Treasury Management and
Investment Strategy. 
1. Executive Summary 
1.1 The General Services Capital Investment Programme 2023/24 to 2030/31 was
approved by Council on 1 March 2023. The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Capital
Investment Programme 2023/24 sits within the updated HRA Business Plan and was
approved by Council on 15 February 2023. 
1.2  This report identifies the current programme for 2023/24, taking account of
adjustments made to the initial budgets. The report presents the revised budgets at 30
November 2023 (Period 8) and forecast expenditure to 31 March 2024. 
1.3   At Period 8 the General Fund is forecasting a net breakeven position against a
revised budget of £97.079m. The HRA is forecasting a projected underspend of
(£0.934m) against a revised budget of £40.664m. 
1.4  Within the General Fund adjustments to funding have resulted in net increases to the
overall capital programme of £0.982m. These are primarily related to additional
Scottish Government funding, including £4.000m to support the 2023/24 SJC pay
settlement, partly offset by the withdrawal of the HOME project and the sale of the site
to the HRA. Further details on the accounting entries required to transfer the
additional funding to Revenue to offset the costs of the pay award are awaited.

1.5 Reviews of individual project plans have identified a number of adjustments to the
current profiles. As a result, (£12.158m) has been reprofiled for delivery in 2024/25
and beyond. This has been partly offset by the acceleration of £2.423m to 2023/24
from future years. 
1.6 Within the HRA, a review of delivery timescales has identified a requirement to
accelerate £0.650m to 2023/24 from future years. This is partly offset by the re-
profiling of (£0.420m) of works for delivery in 2024/25 and beyond.   
1.7 Major risks to the forecast position arising from cost volatility linked to inflationary
pressures; limited availability of contractors, supply chain issues and material
shortages which are impacting on tender returns and the cost of materials; delays
resulting from interaction with external agencies and regulators; contract management
issues and the cost of borrowing, have been identified. Projects will continue to be
monitored closely with cost increases met initially from the additional flexibility built
into the programme. Any costs in excess of the current level of flexibility provision will
require to be funded from within existing resources. 
1.8 Current proposals by the Scottish Government to change the current capital
accounting regulations and undertake a review of local authority capital accounting
arrangements may have negative impacts on the affordability of the capital investment
programmes. COSLA and the Directors of Finance group continue to challenge the
proposed changes. 
1.9 The Treasury Management and Investment Strategy (TMIS) for 2023/24 was
approved by Council on 1 March 2023 and detailed the key performance indicators
under the Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities (2021 edition).
During the period to 30 November 2023, the Council has undertaken additional
planned long term borrowing of £30m. The current estimated performance indicates
that North Ayrshire Council has operated within the treasury limits and performance
indicators set out in the TMIS and the current capital investment plans remain
affordable.

2.4 (c) Alterations to the Phasing of Projects 
A further review of individual project plans, taking cognisance of the current levels of
volatility within the construction sector, has identified a requirement to re-profile
(£12.158m) of works for delivery in 2024/25 and beyond:

2.8 Projected Capital Expenditure to 31 March 2024 
The projections are summarised by service in the following table:   
2.9 A net breakeven position is projected. Information on the progress of all projects can
be found in Appendix 1. 
2.10 Although not formally reflected in the financial performance reports at this time due to
ongoing uncertainty, areas of cost risk have been identified across a number of
projects. These risks are linked to a number of factors, including cost volatility linked
to inflationary pressures; limited availability of contractors, supply chain issues and
material shortages which are impacting on tender returns and the cost of materials;
delays resulting from interaction with external agencies and regulators; and other
contract management issues across a number of projects. Specific projects where
cost risks have been identified, or are anticipated, include Moorpark Primary,
Montgomerie Park Primary, Ardrossan Campus, Upper Garnock Flood Prevention
Scheme, Millport Coastal Flood Prevention Scheme, Largs Sea Wall, Ardrossan North
Shore and Ardrossan Harbour Interchange. While some mitigation has been built into
the Capital Programme in the form of flexibility budgets, totalling £10m over the next
few years, cost pressures may exceed this provision. These risks will be quantified as
individual projects are completed and tendering exercises are finalised, with the
impact on the costs of the programme being monitored and reported to Cabinet as
appropriate. It is recognised, however, that any costs in excess of the current level of
flexibility provision will require to be funded from within existing resources.

2.11 In addition to the risks identified in relation to individual projects, significant financing
risks continue to be identified in relation to the overall affordability of the capital
investment programme due to the increased cost of borrowing and proposed changes
to capital and loans fund accounting regulations currently being considered by the
Scottish Government. Proposals currently under consideration include limitations to
the methodology used to calculate the annual Loans Fund repayments for the
financing of capital investments. If the current annuity method is withdrawn and
replaced with straight line charges over the life of the advance this could have a
significant impact on the affordability of the current capital investment programme. 
2.12 The Scottish Government have also indicated a desire to undertake a wider review of
local authority capital accounting arrangements which could have unforeseen
implications for local authority investment programmes. COSLA and the Directors of
Finance group continue to challenge the proposed changes to the regulations and the
need for a wider review of capital accounting arrangements. 
2.13 As noted in this report, the programme is currently affordable based on the estimated
funding streams and the actions agreed by Council to supplement the Loans Fund.
However, the ongoing borrowing position and associated risks will continue to be
monitored and a full assessment of affordability will be included in the next major
review of the capital programme due for completion during 2023/24. 
Housing Revenue Account 
2.14 The following table outlines the movements in the 2023/24 HRA Capital budget: 
2.15  (a) Alterations to the Phasing of Projects 
A review of the timescale for delivery of capital projects has identified a requirement to
re-profile (£0.420m) of works for delivery in 2024/25 and beyond, including: 
2023/24
£m
Budget as at 31 August 2023 40.434

2024/25 to 2023/24 0.650         
Budget as at 30 November 2023 40.664

This has been offset by the acceleration of £0.650m of project expenditure for delivery
during 2023/24, including: 
2.16 These adjustments have resulted in a revised 2023/24 budget at 30 November 2023

The projections are summarised in the following table:   
2.19 A variance of (£0.934m) is projected within the HRA capital programme for 2023/24
arising from revisions to a number of projects and a range of minor over and
underspends, including: 
2.20 In addition to the adjustments noted above Appendix 2 highlights a number of
proposed virements which are required to transfers budgets between individual
projects and align the budgets with the projected expenditure.

2.21 Further cost pressures resulting from inflationary and supply chain issues continue to
be monitored and a review of the potential impact on the Business Plan and Capital
Programme will be undertaken to address any identified issues. Further information
on the progress of all projects can be found in Appendix 2. 
Treasury Management and Investment 
2.22 The Prudential Code for capital finance in local authorities (2021 edition) requires the
Council to set and monitor performance against specified prudential indicators.  The
indicators for the current year were set out in the Treasury Management and
Investment Strategy 2023/24, approved by Council on the 1 March 2023.  A summary
of the key indicators and our current estimated performance against them is shown in
the following table. Further details of all the Prudential and Treasury indicators can be
found in appendix 3. 
2.23 (a) Loans Capital Financing Requirement 
The Loans Capital Financing Requirement (CFR) is the underlying borrowing
requirement of the Council. This is currently lower than the approved estimate as a
result of the change in profile of the capital programmes highlighted within this report. 
2.24 (b) Gross Borrowing 
Gross Borrowing is projected to be lower than anticipated due to the revised profile of
capital projects and the continued use of internal funds, the latter being a key element
of the Treasury Management Strategy to minimise costs. During the period to 30
November 2023, the Council has undertaken additional planned long term borrowing
of £30.000m in support of the capital investment programme.

Page 11

2.25 (c) Operational Boundary 
The Operational Boundary is the maximum which the Council anticipates borrowing to
fund the current year capital programme, building in flexibility for the timing of the
different funding streams and principal repayments.  The in-year variance is linked to
the continued use of internal funds and the re-profiling of the capital programme. 
2.26 (d) Investments 
It is estimated that the Council will maintain an average balance of £20.000m of
internally managed funds and utilise cash balances during the year in support of the
under-borrowed position.  The internally managed funds are primarily invested in call
accounts with banks, Money Market Funds and other UK local authorities. 
2.27 It is critical that the Council ensures that its capital investment plans are affordable. 
Affordability of borrowing is measured by the percentage of financing costs relative to
the net revenue stream of the General Fund and Housing Revenue Account (HRA). 
As at 30 November, the estimated percentages for 23/24 are 2.5% and 20.5% for the
General Fund and HRA respectively.  Capital expenditure impacts on the revenue
budget through financing charges so it is essential the Council ensures the financing
costs remain affordable and do not constitute an excessive proportion of the revenue
resources available. From a General Fund perspective, the latest Scottish Local
Authority average is 5.5%, therefore demonstrating a prudent borrowing policy. For
the HRA, the Scottish average is 22.7%. The level of loan charges is deemed prudent
and affordable within the framework of the 30 year Housing business plan. 
3. Proposals 
3.1 That Cabinet agrees to:
(a)  note the revisions to budgets outlined in the report; 
(b)  note (i) the General Services and HRA revised budgets at 30 November 2023;

(c) approve the virement proposals noted within the HRA programme detailed in
appendix 2; and
(d)  note the estimated performance against the Prudential Indicators set out in the
Treasury Management and Investment Strategy.

Appendix 3
Treasury Management Performance to 30 November 2023    
Capital Expenditure for both the General Fund and HRA vary from original estimates due to changes
in the profile of projects. Full details of all movements in the capital expenditure budgets are
included in this report.  
The reduction to the Capital Financing Requirement reflects the change in profile of the capital
programme. 
Capital expenditure impacts on the revenue budget through financing charges so it is essential the
Council ensures the financing costs remain affordable and do not constitute an excessive proportion
of the revenue resources available.   From a General Fund perspective, the latest Scottish Local
Authority average was 5.5%, thereby demonstrating a prudent borrowing policy.   For the HRA, the
Scottish average was 22.7%. The level of loan charges is deemed prudent and affordable within the
framework of the 30 year Housing business plan.

The Council is currently projecting an under-borrowed position of £127.000m due to the continuing
strategy to delay long-term external borrowing by utilising internal cash balances.
Liability Benchmark
The liability benchmark is an important tool to help establish whether the Council is likely to be a
long-term borrower or long-term investor in the future, and so shape its strategic focus and decision
making. 
The Liability benchmark graph above is used to inform the Council’s borrowing strategy.  The shaded
grey area shows the Councils current debt and the gap between this and the Liability benchmark line
is how much more borrowing the Council likely needs to undertake to support its current capital
plans once taking into account its balance sheet resources including the net debtor / creditor and
useable reserves.  The above graph indicates that long term borrowing for the period of around 20
years would be most appropriate to meet the Councils borrowing needs and mitigate against interest
rate risk.

The maturity structure of the debt portfolio at 30 November 2023 is shown below and shows the
period when the Council is required to repay and/or refinance debt. It is important to ensure a
reasonable spread of debt to mitigate against high exposure levels in respect of refinancing.  The
current profile ensures this: 
The increase in the external borrowing since 31 March is largely in relation to additional planned
long term borrowing undertaken of £30m. This is partially offset by maturing loans during the period
to 30 November including £8m temporary loans.
