3. That it be noted that there are two projects requiring additional internal and external resources included in this report, but which are subject to a separate detailed project report also on this agenda. The inclusion of these projects is for budget approval purpose and is on the assumption that the approval to progress with the projects is given. As the progression is dependent on that decision, if the projects are not approved, the capital programme will be reduced accordingly. The names of the projects are:

·         Average Speed Enforcement - Wolverhampton

·         Average Speed Enforcement - Walsall, Sandwell and Dudley.
