RESOLVED
That the Executive agrees to the Council committing £100,000 of capital funding as a partnership contribution to an overall match fund commitment of £200,000.
However, if circumstances are as such that:
I. the Council is awarded the full grant of £638,000 requested of MEND;
II. the legal and financial terms and conditions of grant are agreeable to the Council;
III. every effort to obtain partnership funding from external sources is being explored and is ongoing;
the Executive supports a recommendation in principle to the Council to make up the match funding shortfall based on a value for money appraisal and the identification of an available budget to enable the project to proceed to the construction phase.
