Purpose

This report proposes the principles to be
adopted in 2026/27 to apportion any Grants received by the
Lancashire Combined County Authority (LCCA) to the Constituent
Councils where it is appropriate and agreed that the funding be
allocated or passported to the constituent councils.
 
It is proposed to apportion the grants using
the following hierarchy:
 
1. 
Use the apportionment set by the grant awarding body where it has
provided a Local Authority breakdown for 2026/27.
2. 
Use the method adopted by the grant body in allocating an amount to
the LCCA to recreate an apportionment at a Local Authority
level.
3. 
The most appropriate method of:
i. 
Historical apportionment using 2025/26 percentages
ii. 
Split by population basis, or other metrics (such as deprivation)
depending on the nature of the grant
