“This three-year rolling programme is reflective of ongoing commitments, the progression of projects already approved and provisional commitments to new projects in planning,” he wrote.
“The social and economic value of this programme is very significant.
“It underpins our ambition for the county, delivers for citizens, communities, and business. As outlined, all the projects are realistic and funding streams have been identified.
“The programme is fully aligned to the objectives of our Corporate and County Development Plans.
“Regular updates will be provided to members detailing progress, revised costings as plans and projects are fully designed and making additions as appropriate where new opportunities emerge.”
