(report of the Cabinet enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Cabinet meeting held on 26 April 2026 which sought approval for the Cabinet’s recommendations.

The Leader introduced the report, referring to the Memorandum of Understanding approved by Cabinet, which included the Pride and Place programme and set out indicative funding allocations over a ten-year period. It was reported that funding would commence in 2026/27 at £742,000, increasing to £1.992 million in 2027/28 and just over £2 million in 2028/29, with allocations continuing annually thereafter.

DECISION:

That Council approved the recommendation from Cabinet to amend the Capital and Revenue budgets to reflect the funding as set out in Section 2 of the Cabinet report, and delegated authority to the Director of Finance (Section 151 Officer) to vary the Council’s Capital and Revenue base budgets for projects under the parameters of the Pride in Place programme for Spalding.
