Minute 8/23

Decision:

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
(SYMCA) have allocated £3m revenue to Rotherham Metropolitan
Borough Council as a ‘Feasibility Fund’. A grant
agreement has been signed to accept the funding and the decision is
to allocate £200,000 of this fund to support the development
and delivery of the Dinnington Capital Regeneration project

Reasons for the Decision:

Allocation of £200,000 of the
Feasibility Fund to provide a robust budget and contingency,
reflecting the project’s extended programme length.
 

Details of alternative options considered and
rejected:

 
The ‘Do nothing’ option was
considered and discounted as not increasing the budget to account
for an extended project timescale may offer insufficient
contingency, thereby jeopardising deliverability and funding.
