7.1 Introduction

This AMP builds on previous work in this area by continuing to promote the property perspective and the best use of resources as part of the service planning process.

The results of the Property Holdings Review now provide a clear framework for this work and this AMP reflects that framework and provides the platform for development of asset management in Bath & North East Somerset.

All this leads to the maximum contribution not only to corporate and service objectives but also to the capital programme and financial plan.

The approach advocated by the plan also provides a sound backdrop for the transition from CPA to CAA in 2009.

Below and in Appendix 7 the immediate and future targets and actions have been identified. Progress against these actions will be reported to Property Board on a regular basis and will be subject to a formal review by Cabinet at the end of 2008/2009.
