Minutes:
(The Leader agreed to the consideration of this item of business as a matter of urgency as a decision was required prior to the next meeting of the Cabinet).
Members were reminded that in April 2010 the Council had provisionally been awarded £1.2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund to operate a Town Heritage Initiative in Bromsgrove Town Centre Conservation Area. Following this, in April 2012 a second round bid had been submitted containing additional detail on the Conservation area and how the funding would be utilised to add lasting improvements and historic value to the area and it was reported that this bid had now been approved by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It was reported that in order for the grant arrangements to be finalised, the Heritage Lottery Fund required a formal resolution from the Cabinet.
RESOLVED:
(a) that the successful outcome of the Townscape Heritage Initiative application together with the award of a grant of up to £1.2m in respect of the funding of improvements in the Bromsgrove Town Centre Conservation Area be noted with pleasure; and
(b) that the terms of the grant comprising the Standard Terms of Grant (attached as Appendix 1 to the report), the additional conditions set out in the formal Heritage lottery Fund offer letter (attached as Appendix 2 to the report) and the Heritage Lottery Fund document “Managing your Grant”(attached as Appendix 3 to the report) be accepted.
