d.             Levelling Up Fund Cultural Allocation – programme budget approval for £5m in 2024/25 to be funded from Department of Levelling Up grant.

Reasons for Recommendations: These are set out in greater detail within section 5 of the report, but can be summarised as helping to meet the Council’s corporate plan objectives:

-       Green sustainable environment

-       Connected Communities

-       Safe and thriving places

-       Active, fulfilled lives

Alternative Options Considered:

·       For those schemes which are grant funded or from Section 106 contributions, they are undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the grant conditions/ legal agreement and, therefore, there is no alternative option proposed in this report. 

·       Where individual schemes are over £0.5m, separate reports are included elsewhere on this agenda, and these set out the wider options that were considered before reaching the proposals put forward.
