Response by the Cabinet Member: Apologies for the long delay in publishing this response. Question 1. Here attached are three pdf summary pages providing the individual total estimated costs for backlog maintenance for each primary secondary, special and pupil referral units. The estimated backlog maintenance has not been broken down into the three time periods requested as there is a significant level of work. The tables for each school type indicates the year the last condition survey was completed from year 2016 onwards with the estimated backlog maintenance value of works. All other schools have estimated costs for the backlog maintenance based on the overall condition of the buildings. Backlog of maintenance The backlog maintenance is defined as the estimated cost to make the current buildings to keep it in repair. This does not include significant building improvements or extension works. The current backlog of maintenance for all schools is summarised below: Primary £27,534,886 Secondary £45,776,962 Other facilities £8,777,410 (Special, PRU and EY) *Total Estimated backlog maintenance of buildings £82,089,258 Note *These estimated costs for backlog maintenance have only been updated in year 2022 due to the impact with the COVID pandemic. The table below gives a brief overview of key asset data for school property buildings (primary, secondary, special and PRUs) with Condition category ‘C’ and ‘D’ and the estimated backlog maintenance for each type of school. Type of School Total Overall Building & Site Condition C&D (poor and bad) Estimated Backlog Maintenance £million Primary 80 33 £17.1m Secondary 13 10 £43m PRUs & EY 2 1 £0.8m Special Schools 3 2 £7.9m Total 98 46 £68.8m Backlog maintenance Year 1 Work priorities have been included in the Schools Capital programme and other associated repair and maintenance budgets. Question 2. There is not a full breakdown of estimated backlog of maintenance figures for the year 2017. The breakdown in the three areas is not available at this time. Question 3. The calculation is based on the statements during the 2022/3 budget round that a 1% rise in Council Tax raises approximately £700k net. If the backlog were spread over 5 years funded solely by council tax this would require a ringfenced rise of approximately 20% maintained for 5 years.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
