Brief Description of
Decision:

The allocation of
£100,000 from the Feasibility Fund to increase the capacity
of the Regeneration team on a temporary basis, and enable the team
to benefit from training and development necessary to deliver the
Regeneration programme.

Reasons for the Decision:

This Feasibility Fund
allocation will support progression of the integrated mainline and
tram train station, providing additional team capacity and
specialist rail industry expertise.
 
The Regeneration team capacity
has increased recently, this allocation will ensure that the team
and colleagues supporting the delivery of the programme have the
necessary capability to deliver the Place Based Investment
Strategy.   
 

Details of alternative options
considered and rejected:

Alternative option: Funding
could be sought from alternative sources through capitalisation or
Council revenue.
 
Alternative rejected: this
additional resource could not be taken forward and the Mainline
Station delivery programme impacted accordingly.
 
Alternative rejected: training
for the team could not be provided and the Council’s ability
to effectively manage and deliver the ambitious Regeneration
programme would be hindered, potentially impacting negatively on
outcome delivery, and damage to the Council’s reputation with
the local community, project partners, funders and
Government.
