The table below reflects the split of the income over the service areas.

2. S106 Accounts

The following tables give the overall picture of the S106 accounts by service, ward and parish. It should be noted: The “income” figure is provided on an invoiced basis rather than cash received in

line with the council’s accounts. Controls exist so that no expenditure is made until actual money is received.

the small differences in total figures between the three tables is due to the

‘rounding up’ of the numerous individual application balances and the effect of this on sorting the balances under different headings.

Table 1 - the proposed capital spend for 2014-2015 includes bids that have been

approved up to 1 July 2014. Further project bids may be made and approved throughout the year.

Tables 2 & 3 the capital programme spend shows the amounts that were spent

from funds that were received in the particular ward/parish and does not reflect where the spend occurred.

3. Debt Recovery Good progress has been made in reducing the level of debt on S106 agreements. Part payments have been made on all debts and payment plans put in place to clear historical debts

S106 Recovery cases 2012-2014*

*Invoices that remain unpaid for more than 3 months are deemed “recovery” cases.

4. Forecast There were 131 new S106 Agreements with financial contributions completed in 2013-

2014, compared with 136 in 2012-2013. The prediction of projected income from S106 agreements with any certainty is difficult.

This is due to not knowing if, or when, a development may commence and the recognition that permissions exist on the same site for alternative schemes. There were 195 agreements on extant permissions as at 9 June 2014, with a total possible income of £17.5m.

Due to the changes in the CIL Regulations regarding pooling of S106 agreements we will

be unable to use S106 agreements after 6 April 2015 for generic contributions. Only site specific measures and Affordable Housing will be negotiated.

5. 2013/14 Spend and Forecast 2014/2015 Proposed Spend

5.1 A total of over £6 million of S106 funds was spent on Capital Projects making a difference

5.2 Service Area Reports

5.2.1 Air Quality

During 2014-2015 it is intended to use part of the air quality balance of funds on the purchase and maintenance of a new AQ (NO2 PM10) monitoring station at Frascati Way subject to be approval by Corporate Management Team. This project can be achieved by releasing circa £50,000 from the section 106 monies received from the development in St Mary's Park, Blackamoor Lane, Maidenhead. The scope for this project is defined within the terms of the developer’s contribution; to use the funds for the purchase of an air quality monitoring station in Maidenhead and for the ongoing maintenance and data verification. In February 2014 Cabinet approved a recommendation to declare two new Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs). Within this recommendation was a mandate to undertake PM10 monitoring in Maidenhead. The aim of this monitoring is to verify that the PM10 national air quality objectives are not being exceeded within the Borough

5.2.2 Affordable Housing

£1,836,000 of S106 fund was made available under a contract with Housing Solutions Limited to provide affordable homes through a Do It Yourself Shared Ownership scheme. The scheme, which is available throughout the Borough, allows qualifying applicants who cannot afford to buy on the open market to select a suitable property on the open market. Housing Solutions Limited purchase the property and then sell the applicant the proportion that they can afford, charging them rent on the remaining equity. Applicants can “staircase” up to a higher level of ownership when they are able to afford to do so.

A new resident receiving their key

Discussions are underway with regard to future housing projects supported by S106 receipts. Negotiations are conducted bearing in mind the need to secure value for money and particularly to balance risks for all parties in the current housing market. This includes the end user in the case of home ownership solutions where there are challenges around high housing prices and additional constraints on mortgage availability

5.2.3 Car Parking

The funds held for car parking are restricted by the legal agreement for use on the Meadow Lane Car Park in Windsor. Negotiations have been ongoing to bring this project to fruition and the aim is for this to be utilised in the current financial year (2014-2015).

5.2.4 Community Facilities

The main areas of expenditure were: • Facilities at Marlow Road, Pinkneys Green, Windsor and Eton Wick Youth Centres. • Kidwells Park and Desborough Park Skate Parks • Play areas at Grenfell Park, Moffy Hill and Shifford Crescent • Facilities at Lady Elizabeth House • Youth Centre ICT provision • Counselling facilities at Youth Talk • Devolution to the Parishes Projects currently allocated in the current Capital Programme • Furze Platt Leisure Facility £140k • Charters Youth Centre £15k • Manor Community Centre £75k • Hurley Canoe Centre £74k • Marlow Road, Pinkneys Green, Windsor and Eton Wick Community Centres £87k

5.2.5 Education

Education – In total, £3.416m of S106 monies has been spent on school buildings since the borough started collecting S106 monies. Recent projects include:

• Furze Platt Senior - new maths block £105k • Newlands Girls’ - new swimming facilities £147k • South Ascot Village Primary - ‘bulge’ classroom £159k • St Edward’s Royal Free Middle - Expansion £152k

£5.181m is shown as unspent against the Education S106 funds. This money can be divided into the categories below.

of 22

1. Unspent money that has been assigned to projects that are underway/recently completed:

This totals £2.159m (42% of the total unspent amount). This S106 funding has been allocated to specific projects that have been approved and are now due to start, underway or recently completed but awaiting closing of the accounts.

The projects being funded (or parted funded) by the £2.159m include:

• All Saints CE Junior - permanent expansion £207k • Datchet St Mary’s Primary - ‘bulge’ classroom £17k • Dedworth Green and Homer - ‘bulge’ classrooms £92k • Furze Platt Junior - new classroom and library £245k • Lowbrook Primary - ‘bulge’ classroom £29k • Oldfield Primary - relocation and expansion £748k • Riverside Primary - expansion £306k • The Queen Anne RF Controlled First - classroom enlargement £115k • Trevelyan Middle - classroom enlargement £82k • Windsor Girls’ - New sports hall £330k

Total £2.159m

2. Unspent money that is being saved towards specific projects

This totals £0.183m (4% of the total). School building projects are generally quite costly and the sums received through S106 are often not enough to fund projects by themselves. In a number of cases, therefore, schools/the borough are pooling different funding streams, and/or saving up S106 contributions over a period of years.

The projects in this category include:

• St Michael’s Primary - new admin accommodation £56k • St Mary’s Primary - new classrooms £109k • Various - Various £18k

Total £0.183m

3. Unspent money being put aside to cope with the secondary sector expansion programme

This totals £1.903m (37% of the total). Demand for secondary age education in the borough is expected to rise significantly in the second half of the decade, and the Royal Borough will be consulting, in Autumn 2014, on specific proposals to meet the first part of this demand.

S106 funds for secondary sector provision are being set aside so that they can be used to fund schemes agreed following that consultation. The £1.903m sum is available to fund (or part-fund) projects at specific schools (or at a new school serving the same area) as follows: • Altwood £125k • Charters £749k • Cox Green £11k • Dedworth Middle £69k • Desborough College £1k

of 22

• Furze Platt Senior £40k • Newlands Girls’ £572k • St Peter’s £9k • The Windsor Boy’s £286k • Trevelyan £31k • Windsor Girls’ £11k

Total £1.903m 4. Unspent money in subarea pots, available to spend on new primary school projects

This totals £0.561m (11% of the total). S106 funds for primary age education are now collected into ‘subarea pots’ rather than allocated to individual schools. Each pot contains the S106 monies collected from a distinct geographical area such as Ascot, Bisham and the Cookhams, and Datchet & Wraysbury, to spend on primary schools. The remaining £0.561m is unspent, and is available for spending as follows: • Ascot pot £227k • Bisham & the Cookhams pot £71k • East Windsor, Old Windsor & Park pot £139k • Eton pot £56k • Maidenhead Villages pot £67k

Total £0.561m

Just over 31% of these monies have been collected since the start of 2014. There are eligible schemes for these monies and decisions will now need to be taken about which projects to fund.

Note: £2.43m has been collected into the subarea pots in total and 77% is either already spent or assigned to projects referred to elsewhere in this summary. The remaining £0.561m represents, therefore, 23% of the total collected in the subarea pots.

5. Other unspent monies

This totals £0.375m (7% of the total). It is made up of:

• small pots of monies at three schools (Eton Porny First, Courthouse Junior, St Francis Catholic School) where no projects are currently planned, totalling £47k;

• £328k for new SEN Provision. It is likely that this sum will fund SEN related elements of the secondary school expansion programme.

5.2.6 Highways, Public Transport and Traffic Calming

Developer contributions are extensively utilised within Highways & Transport to deliver infrastructure projects in the following areas: • Cycle Improvements • Public Rights of Way • Road Safety • Street lighting • Public Transport Improvements • Highway accessibility Improvements (for example: installation of dropped crossing,

disabled access ramps) • Town centre enhancements

of 22

• Traffic management

• Altwood Road – New Cycleway • Monkey Island Lane – New Cycleway • Norreys Drive – New Cycleway • A30 Sunningdale – Highway Improvements • Cannon Lane / Altwood Road – New Roundabout • Stafferton Link Road • Borough wide footway accessibility improvements • Safe Route to Schools – Footway Surface upgrades • Forest Green Road - Local Safety Schemes

Projects programmed for delivery in 2014/15 include:

• Traffic Signal Review • School Cycle / Scooter Parking • Highway Drainage • Intelligent Transport Systems • Local Safety Scheme • Peascod Street / Charles Street Environmental Improvements • Public Transport Improvements • Cycling Capital Programme • Reducing Congestion & Imp. Air Quality • Bridge Parapet Improvement Works • Moorbridge Road Gateway • Thames Path • Stafferton Way Link Road • Cycling Capital Programme • Public Rights of Way Bridge Maintenance • Rights of Way Major Projects • Intelligent Traffic Systems • School Cycle / Scooter Parking

Additionally, officer resources have been allocated to identify future schemes which may be funded from currently unallocated funds.

5.2.7 Indoor Sport

of 22

Improvements were undertaken at the Magnet Leisure centre to increase the facilities at the Bodyzone including the Health spa and changing rooms

5.2.8 Library

Funding for the purchase of additional library stock was covered from S106 receipts

in 2013/14 & will be covered in 2014/15. Provision of refurbishments to introduce self-service technology for some

community libraries will be covered from S106 receipts in 2014/15. S106 part-funded the new Boyn Grove Library which opened in April 2014

increasing capacity for the service to local residents.

of 22

Other projects for 2014/15 include: Ascot Library £47K Ascot Durning Library is located within the Ascot Racecourse complex and is co-located with Ascot Community Room. £10K S106 funding has been allocated to make improvements to the Community Room. A further £37K has been allocated to re-orientate the existing customer counter within the Library and to replace outdated self-service technology. Introduction of modern self-service kiosks offer scope to extend self service delivery for residents. The new style self-service kiosks will offer capacity for residents to complete self service payments for a range of defined Council services in addition to those related to Library business and include CHIP and PIN functionality. Ascot Community Room, which is used on race days as a staff canteen, has scope, with some modifications and improvements, as a Library managed income generating space. The refurbished space, with improved flooring and updated modern decor will have potential to attract increased interest as an income generating space both in terms of leisure and learning pursuits. Cox Green Library £32K Cox Green Library is co-located with the Community Hall and Leisure Centre on the site of Cox Green Academy. It is a dual use Library serving both residents and students of Cox Green Academy. Introduction of self-service presents opportunity to develop service delivery for both customer groups. The refurbished space, including a customer POD will create an attractive ambience and a flexible library space more in keeping with the requirements of residents in the 21st century. A customer POD is a help point at which customers and staff can access a computer together, it takes less room than a traditional counter and enables staff to interact better with the customers. Maidenhead Library £68K Maidenhead Library, a Grade II listed iconic building, is undergoing S106-funded improvements to teenage, ICT and information services including new first floor shelving systems to increase capacity and create a modern and fit-for-purpose library service within the main town library.

of 22

Sunninghill Library £31K Sunninghill is a small community library centrally located in the heart of Sunninghill village. A capital investment of £7K has been approved to undertake electrical rewiring and fire alarm-related health and safety requirements. A further £31K of S106 funds has been invested to allow the opportunity to develop service delivery for residents by introduction of self service at the same time as the rewiring takes place. The refurbished space will include a customer POD and modern shelving units to maximise effective stock display thereby increasing capacity and will create an attractive ambience and a flexible library space. Windsor Library £12K Windsor Library has benefited from £15K S106 in 2013/14 and a further £12K S106 has been invested to complete the project of increasing capacity through implementing a new layout, modern furniture and design, and improved access to income-generating material. This should result in better use of staff resource, improvements to the first floor information service and improvements to the teenage offer.

5.2.9 Public Open Space

A number of major projects have been completed this year which have been accomplished with the help of S106 developer contributions. These include:

Major extension to Charters Leisure centre with new gym , reception , bar, changing rooms and viewing gallery as well as upgraded all weather pitch playing surface

Other projects include: Osgood Park play area Keeler close play area Town Moor Car park Grenfell Park café WW1 commemoration areas in Kidwells Park and Bachelors Acre Entrances at Home Park Magnet play area

5.2.10 Public Art & Heritage

Guildhall and Museum £17K The Guildhall has benefitted from the restoration of the historic chairs and tables and the installation of blinds to create improved ultra violet light control on the stairs. This will help improve the visitor offer & protect the portraits hanging in the stairwell as well as increase the opportunity for income generation through events, meetings and wedding bookings. Norden Farm Centre for Arts £19K Norden Farm has benefitted from a series of improvements to provide increased capacity and with better seating, reception furniture and improved customer facilities. This should result in better use of staff resource, improvements to the café area and income generation.

of 22

Maidenhead Heritage Centre £3K Maidenhead Heritage Centre has upgraded its display provision to provide enhanced visitor experience and opportunity for residents and visitors to learn about the history of the local area. Funds from Public Art and Heritage have also supported and are committed to the Waterways project. Future projects include some contributions to the Magna Carta 800th anniversary celebrations in June 2015, matched funding for World War One projects and the ‘Harmony’ Bandstand project for Alexandra Gardens. There are plans for a significant fountain on the roundabout at Ascot which may be a War and Horse WWI memorial - £60K. There are planned upgrades for exhibitions for the museum to included revamped displays and exhibition cases for the Guildhall space and for travelling exhibitions. Projects are underway associated with interpretation for Heritage Trails across the Borough.

5.2.11 SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space)

The Allens Field SANG has established itself during 2013-2014 and the use has increased which ensures the protection of the Thames Heath Basin SPA. During the year an adjacent piece of land became available for sale and responding to local resident’s wishes the Borough successfully bid for the land. In due course this land will be adopted as additional SANG capacity.

5.2.12 Town Centre Enhancements Windsor: S106 contributions were used in Windsor to fund a new wayfaring signpost project and Christmas Lights.

of 22

The two projects continue into 2014-2015 with phase 2 of the wayfaring projects and additional Christmas lighting. Maidenhead Maidenhead Waterways is an exciting and critical scheme for the Town Centre regeneration and funds were used to support this waterways restoration project to detail design and go out to tender to a select list of specialist contractors with a programmed construction start in the Autumn of 2014.
