Decision details

At the Cabinet meeting held 20 February 2023, Members considered a report titled “UK Shared Prosperity Fund” and agreed to recommend:

“The legal, financial and governance arrangements in relation to the administration of Fenland District Council’s SPF allocation as set out in this report”.

These arrangements included a grant decision making process utilising the Economic Growth Team, North Cambridgeshire Place Development Board (PDB) and the Council’s Prosperity Fund Grants Team. From January 2024 the PDB was no longer operational and its role in the grant decision making process needs filling with a suitable replacement organisation.

Members considered the Revised Grant Decision Making Process for the 2024/25 SPF Investment in Business Project and REPF Business Growth Grants Project report presented by Councillor Benney.

Proposed by Councillor Benney, seconded by Councillor Hoy, Cabinet considered and AGREED a replacement to the North Cambridgeshire Place Development Board in the UK Shared Prosperity Fund grant making decision process.
