Content: Under delegation from Cabinet, resolution 64 , dated 6 February 2025, to seek approval for the award of funding to a project in the District (see Annex 1), namely marketing training for visitor economy businesses. The Chief Executive, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for the Economy and Transformation, resolved to approve the award of funding to a project in the district(see Annex 1). The decision was taken to enable the Council to make use of the UK Shared Prosperity Funding allocated to it by Government and to approve a project which will help the Council to deliver the outputs and outcomes set out in its UKSPF Local Investment Plan. The option of not awarding the funding was considered but was ultimately rejected, as it would have risked underspending the allocated budget and failing to deliver the outputs and outcomes expected of the Council.

Date of Decision: October 28, 2025
