To commit forward funding for the next stage of the SRP Design Development, in anticipation that we will receive the Safety Valve Programme capital grant.
NB: This decision is being taken under the general exception procedure as it has not been possible to give 28 days’ notice. The Council was expecting a decision from the DfE by the end of March on the Council’s capital bid. Despite multiple attempts to chase, a decision has not been received from the DfE. Failure to fund the work now would delay provision of the SRP.

To approve the Council’s Youth Strategy 2024-27.
The Strategy sets out the Council’s vision to create a clear youth offer over the next 3 years. Five key ambitions form the foundations for the delivery of the strategy. They are essential in helping young people develop the confidence and resilience to improve their life chances, transition to adulthood, and engage meaningfully with their communities and wider society.
The new Youth Strategy will support the council plan by supporting more young people to be active citizens, who are able to thrive in the place where they live. The Youth Strategy reflects the Council’s drive for an early intervention and prevention approach.
The strategy supports the Executive’s manifesto commitment to support youth services.
