Background Documents: At the board meeting in March 2026, the Town Board voted to allocate this funding to their partner for the provision of enhanced consultation. This function is to be delivered by the Wisbech Town Council in partnership with the Town Board. FDC governance processes are now being followed to release funds – acting solely in its capacity as Accountable Body. No FDC funding is being used to fund this scheme, the money is sourced from the CLG Plan for Neighbourhoods fund, allocated to the Town Board. Attached to this MDR is the proposal from Wisbech Town Council which was approved by the Town Board.
Delegated Power Being Exercised: Part 3 - Responsibilities for Functions; Table 5, paragraph 10 which permits the portfolio holder and leader of the council to authorise the approval of the Council’s acquisition of goods, services and works (whether following a procurement exercise or otherwise), and entry into the associated financial and legal agreements between the value £100,001 and £500,000.
