en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dumfries and Galloway Council in the UK achieved a 93.1% utilization rate of committed funds in the execution of its 2025/26 Capital Investment Strategy. This is a core finding disclosed in the final report reviewed by the region's Licensing and Customer Services Committee this week.
The report indicates that this utilization rate reflects the scale of the current capital program, involving a series of large-scale projects supporting improvements for residents and communities. It also confirms that some committed funds will be carried forward to the next fiscal year to ensure the continued progress of agreed projects and avoid negative impacts on the 2026/27 investment plan.
Councillor John Campbell, Chair of the Licensing and Customer Services Committee, stated that this level of fund execution demonstrates the scale of work being undertaken in the region. He emphasized that capital investment is not just about numbers, but about supporting communities, maintaining project momentum, and ensuring the Council continues to invest in public service assets such as buildings, infrastructure, and systems. Campbell noted that carrying committed funds forward with projects to the next delivery phase helps sustain progress and ensures that approved investments are implemented in a planned and responsible manner.
The report concludes that sustained capital investment can support public services, foster local development, and enhance confidence in the ongoing delivery of agreed investments. As part of the report, committee members agreed with the recommendation of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee to carry forward the remaining available capital funds from the end of 2025/26 within each project and asset category to support project advancement over the coming period.
