(R&E) Levelling Up Fund - Leisure Economy. Partner Funding Agreements

 

 

Rotherham Council has secured £20m to support the leisure economy across the Borough from the first round of the Levelling Up Fund. This funding will deliver 6 individual capital projects, 4 of which will be delivered by partners (Maltby Academy, Gullivers Resorts, Magna Trust, Wentworth Woodhouse).

The Council will oversee the projects from a monitoring perspective, but the projects will be wholly delivered by the partners.

To facilitate delivery, funding agreements will be put in place allowing funding to be drawdown against a set of specific deliverables.

 

The report will seek permission for the Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration & Transport to exercise the delegation: “Bidding for external funding and grant aid, special financial packages for economic development/regeneration for both revenue and capital schemes, and their subsequent implementation” and sign the 4 agreements.
