Purpose

Acceptance of Thetford Pride in Place Grant

Decision

To receive £157k Pride in Place grant from the Thetford Neighbourhood Board towards the undertaking of detailed design work as part of the Thetford Campus Project.

Reasons for the decision

This grant would enable the project to progress further with architectural designs and construction specifications. In addition, it would also enable a detailed capital cost plan to be formed. The stage of the project in relation to this grant has no material impact on the council’s budget.

Alternative options considered

The design phase of the project will be funded using this grant with a further funding contribution from West Suffolk College. There will also be a contribution from the Council which has already been budgeted for previously.
