To approve a
further project for year 3 of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
(UKSPF), following the most recent Decision dated 6th January
2025.
 
The previous
Decision related to a change in a project approval for E13 due to
no suitable projects coming forward. 
 
This further
Decision makes recommendations for £6,000 of the remaining
underspend from the external shop front grant scheme in
intervention E to support internal shop capital works.

Reasons for the decision

Reallocated funding between interventions has
been based on moving funding to interventions which have proven
more popular, to allow the funding to be more impactful across the
District

Alternative options considered

With limited time remaining to allocate the
UKSPF, and no further opportunity to carry funding forward,
projects must be approved to allow them sufficient time to deliver
before the final deadline (March 2025). Any funding unallocated
will need to be returned to Central Government at that
time.
