Decision details

The Council gave consideration to a report advising that since the announcement by the UK Government in relation to The Levelling Up Partnership, relatively little information had been provided on the process of the fund or how the fund would operate. The report advised that there was up to £20M capital funding that would be available in 2025/26.

Decision

The Council –

1.     noted the Levelling Up Partnership process as it was currently understood; and

2.     noted the ongoing work and engagement with UK Government officials, and agreed to refer consideration of the prioritisation of the projects as identified within Table 1 within the submitted report to the Policy and Resources Committee at their next meeting.
