Decision

To approve the financial allocations proposed in Appendix 1.

To delegate to the CJC’s Interim Chief Executive and S151 Officer, in consultation with the CJC’s Chair and Vice-chair, with Flintshire and Wrexham Councils to agree any minor modifications to the allocations arising from the preparation of the Gateway 4 submission. For the avoidance of doubt, “minor modifications” as those where there is a change of no more than 10% to the funding of any agreed heading, and do not include movement between revenue and capital funding. 

To note the progress made to date and request that the remaining Gateways (4 and 5) are presented for approval, along with a final decision on the Investment Zone proposal at a future meeting, once the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Gateways have been agreed with Welsh and UK Governments.
