2026 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) split between
Capital and Revenue Spend.  Funding
allocated must be utilised by the end of the fiscal year
2025-26.

March 2025, agreed a proposed approach to utilising this funding,
with delegated authority to the Executive Director in consultation
with the Portfolio Holder of Economy and Growth for the
