UK Shared Prosperity Fund (Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Caroline Jackson)
Report of Chief Executive Minutes: (Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Caroline Jackson)
Cabinet received a report from the Chief Executive to set out the Council’s approach to developing an Investment Plan for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), ahead of a subsequent Cabinet meeting to approve the Investment Plan itself on Tuesday 26 July 2022. The Lancaster district has been allocated one of the highest levels of funding for a district authority in England and the report set out the key elements of the proposed robust, comprehensive and collaborative approach to developing and delivering a local Investment Plan.
The options, options analysis, including risk assessment and officer preferred option, were set out in the report as follows:
The officer preferred option was Option 1. However, as set out in section 7 of the report, the views of Cabinet members were integral to developing and signing off a successful Investment Plan and officers would accommodate the perspectives of members in shaping the Investment Plan wherever possible.
Councillor Jackson proposed the recommendations as set out in the report, seconded by Councillor Heath:-
“(1) That Cabinet approve the development of a UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Investment Plan with the theme of “addressing the Climate Emergency”, seeking to utilise UKSPF investment to support initiatives that will contribute to the district’s environmental and decarbonisation goals.
(2) That Cabinet approve a structure for evaluating UKSPF investments based on the Critical Success Factors set out in section 4 of the report.
(3) That Cabinet consider in principle the possible inclusion of a blend of local investments alongside collaborative initiatives across Lancashire and Morecambe Bay in the Investment Plan, as set out in section 5 of the report.”
