Decision details

Having consulted with the Leader of the Council and Finance Portfolio Holder to delegate to the S.            151 Officer the ability to:

·         administer the Grant Schemes in accordance with Government Guidance; and the local key principles; and

·         recover the costs associated with the above in accordance with s.31 of the Local Government Act 2003.

As announced and required by Government in October 2020 and howsoever amended until such time as they are discontinued when this delegation shall also cease subject to any appropriate transition arrangements having been concluded and all costs appropriately recovered.

No alternatives available as waiting to agree the new schemes at the next scheduled meeting of Full Council will result in a delay to implementation and therefore the availability of funding to qualifying businesses.
