Forthcoming Decisions

24/04/2024 - SRP Design Development and Enabling Works

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.

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.
