Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

As part of the UKSPF programme governance arrangements delegated authority is assigned to the Executive Director in consultation with the Council Leader and the Section 151 Officer to approve individual projects to proceed in line with the Chesterfield UKSPF Investment Plan, and on an ongoing basis, approve changes in project delivery in line with recommendations made by the Internal Programme Board as per Cabinet approval on 24th January 2023.

Decision:

To endorse the recommendations made by the UKSPF Internal Programme Board for the reallocation of unspent funding in the Supporting Local Business and People and Skills themes deliver additional spend and outputs before 31st March 2025.

Alternative options considered:

Funding remains allocated in existing projects and the Council claims an underspend. There is an identified demand for the funding in other projects that will deliver additional outputs. This option will maximise support to deliver the programme and therefore is considered the most suitable option for the underspend.

Reason Key: Decision to transfer funds of more than £50,000 from one budget to another;
