Minutes: In June 2016 Cheshire East Council was successful with a bid for funding for £350,000 from the Department for Transport’s Sustainable Travel Transition Year Fund (STTY), which was available for delivery up to March 2017 in the Crewe and Nantwich area. The programme of delivery included the allocation of Business Travel Grants with £32,000 from the STTY grant being allocated towards this element of the programme. The Policy for the Allocation of these grants had been approved by Cabinet in December 2016 and this had been followed by a campaign to raise awareness that local organisations in the Crewe & Nantwich area could apply for Business Travel Grants of up to £4,999. The purpose of the grants was to support local businesses to develop measures which provided accessibility by sustainable modes of travel to their site. It was recognised that local businesses were often best placed to identify their own transport and accessibility needs and these grants would enable the successful organisations the capacity to develop local solutions.
