Full council record
Decision
To use the remaining £576.19 in the Revenue Shopfront Improvement Grants scheme from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to support the Sunspot’s 2nd Birthday celebration event.
Reasons for the decision
There is currently £576.19 of underspend in the revenue funding, and this cannot be awarded to a grant recipient as the minimum grant amount is £1,000.
The underspend sits within the “support for business” theme so therefore it is proposed that the remaining money goes towards paying towards the Sunspots 2nd Birthday celebration, which is being delivered in partnership. This would bring support to the businesses that are currently at the Sunspot and promote the Sunspot itself.
Alternative options considered
Not reallocate the funds and return the money to MHCLG.
