Decision:

To approve the change in a project for year 3 of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

Reasons for the decision:

UKSPF funding is an allocation from Government which lasts for 3 years, with 2024/25 being the final year. It is therefore imperative that all funding is allocated and spent in this financial year (to 31st March 2025) as there is no further opportunity to carry funding forward.

Alternative options considered:

The following options were considered:
Option 1: To not reallocate the funds and return money unspent.
Option 2: To continue with the ramp works, however this was dismissed due to reasons outlined within the Executive Decision Form.
