Meeting documents

To consider a report on the HS2 project

The Cabinet received a report which provided background information relating to the HS2 Community and Environment Fund (CEF) and Business and Local Economy Fund (BLEF). The report sought endorsement for officers to explore opportunities for making applications for funding on behalf of the Council either individually or in partnership with other qualifying groups or organisations where appropriate.

There was no overview of the number of applications for funding and the Council was only notified of awards. There would be the opportunity to work together with other organisations to work together and discuss applications.

RESOLVED:

1.     That the background information relating to the funds be noted.

2.     That Cabinet agree to endorse officers in exploring opportunities for making applications for funding on behalf of the Council from the CEF and/or the BLEF and where appropriate, to make applications to the funds individually or in partnership with other qualifying groups or organisations.
