Sheffield City Region Investment Fund – Funding Agreements
Decision type: Key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 08/02/2016
Reason for urgency:
The report has been prepared in response to the requirement of the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority (SCR CA) requirement that Local Authorities be the project sponsor for Sheffield City Region Investment Fund Schemes (SCRIF), this requirement has only recently been notified to us and some time has been spent attempting to overturn this decision however this has not proved fruitful. Chesterfield Waterside Ltd will be the ultimate beneficiary of the grant funding and the timing of the delivery of the scheme did not factor in this additional legal work and decision making process (as it was not known about at the time), the scheme is ready to commence expenditure and further delays in finalising the funding agreement will mean that expenditure will slip and a risk that grant funding could be lost and the scheme not progressing as planned.
