Asset Management Best Value Review
The Best Value Review highlighted that the Council was faced with an extremely serious, large and growing problem regarding the level of property assets that it holds and the cost of maintaining them. It found that some £25 million was required to bring the properties up to an acceptable standard and tackle the backlog of maintenance work that had not been carried out.
With that in mind it was strongly recommended that an integrated, strategic approach should be taken to the management of these assets, in line with best practice as recommended in “Hot Property” and being championed in Scotland via the Scottish Executive and Federation of Property Surveyors.
The establishment of the Corporate Asset Management & Planning Team and development of a strategic asset management plan were considered to be in accordance with best practice principles. However, consultation with Council services did show that there were still deficiencies in the process, some of which lie within the Corporate Asset Management & Planning Team itself, but others that require clearer engagement and support at Council level.
