Issue - meetings

To approve the release of £60,000 from the Crease Drove Ring-fenced fund  (joint report of the Deputy Leader of the Council / Portfolio Holder for Localism, Economic Development and Big Society and the Economic Development Manager is enclosed).

Consideration was given to the joint report of the Deputy Leader of the Council / Portfolio Holder for Localism, Economic Development and Big Society and the Economic Development Manager which sought approval of the release of £60,000 from the Crease Drove Ring-fenced fund to allow the South Holland Business Growth and Employment Project to be worked up to Royal Institute British Architects (RIBA) Stage 4.

In discussing this report a member, whilst supporting the proposal, commented that £60,000 was a large sum and asked the Portfolio Holder whether it provided value for money.  The Portfolio Holder informed the Council that he did believe that it provided value for money and would circulate to Members details of what was required by Stage 4 of RIBA.

DECISION:

1.    That £60,000 be released from the Creese Drove Ring-fenced fund to allow the project to be worked up to Royal Institute British Architects (RIBA) Stage 4.
