Shared Prosperity Funds - Transitional Funding
From: Cabinet - Monday, 19th May, 2025 2.00 pm - May 19, 2025
The Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) is the Government’s domestic replacement for the European Structural and Investment Programme. All areas of the UK are receiving an allocation of SPF funding calculated by a funding formula where the funding available to Fenland District is for SPF £279k over a transitional one-year period 2025-26. Two SPF projects have been approved by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, a continuation of the business grant scheme Investment in Business with a budget of £220k and the Firebreak and Anti-Social Behaviour project with a budget of £59k.
Recommendations Approved
Decision to enter a contract through the Football Foundations PlayZones Framework to construct PlayZones at Barton Road and Manor Field
From: Cabinet - Monday, 19th May, 2025 2.00 pm - May 19, 2025
In November 2024 Cabinet reviewed a report regarding the Football Foundation Project and the potential delivery of up to four PlayZones in Fenland, with two initially identified to be developed at the Manor Field in Whittlesey and at Barton Road Playing Field in Wisbech. Cabinet approved the submission of bids to the Football Foundation for these two facilities. Cabinet also noted the necessary match funding of £62,500 per facility and the planned funding applications to be submitted to the FCC Community Action Fund to support the Manor project and Wisbech Town Board to support the Wisbech project. This report highlights the current position of these two projects and details that the necessary match funding, previously identified, has not been forthcoming following rejection of a bid to FCC and the timetable changes for the Wisbech Town Board and the Government’s Neighbourhood Plan funding. This report therefore asks Cabinet to consider supportive match funding the two projects from FDC’s capital programme. This report also asks Cabinet to consider whether support for two other possible PlayZone locations – should Football Foundation funding become available – whilst noting that it is likely that match funding for the facilities would be necessary from the District Council once again.
Recommendations Approved

Recommendations Approved
