Decision details

The Corporate Policy Committee at its meeting on 6 February 2025 delegated authority to the Director of Growth and Enterprise manage the Cheshire East UKSPF programme, taking all necessary actions in the interests of maximising the impacts of the fund aligned to the fund parameters and local priorities, including but not limited to allocation of remaining funds to specific interventions, and reallocation of funds and movement of revenue funds to capital if required. The Digital Communities Fund forms part of the Enabling Communities Grants Programme.

Approval of the first set of recommendations for E15 (UKRPF) totalling £27,919 and E15 (UKSPF) totalling £29,424 under the Digital Communities grant scheme following evaluation and scoring of applications as set out in the Appendix to the ODR.

This leaves an underspend of £2,081 for E15 (UKRPF) and £37,076 for E15 (UKSPF). The underspend is likely to be allocated, as applicants are re-submitting their applications for reconsideration by the panel on Monday 20 October.
