SPF Year 3 Project Recommendations - Change in a Project Approval for E1

Decision Maker: Deputy Leader of the Council and Economic Growth, Regeneration & Tourism Portfolio Holder, Leader of the Council and Corporate Finance & Governance Portfolio Holder

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To approve a further project for year 3 of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), following the most recent Decision dated 6th January 2025.

 

The previous Decision related to a change in a project approval for E13 due to no suitable projects coming forward. 

 

This further Decision makes recommendations for £6,000 of the remaining underspend from the external shop front grant scheme in intervention E to support internal shop capital works.

Reasons for the decision:

Reallocated funding between interventions has been based on moving funding to interventions which have proven more popular, to allow the funding to be more impactful across the District

Alternative options considered:

With limited time remaining to allocate the UKSPF, and no further opportunity to carry funding forward, projects must be approved to allow them sufficient time to deliver before the final deadline (March 2025). Any funding unallocated will need to be returned to Central Government at that time.
