1.0 Background
Wigan currently operates four regeneration programmes funded by North West Development Agency.
These are:
SRB5 Atherton Building Communities |
Total Award £5.95 million |
|---|---|
SRB6 One-Stop for Regeneration |
Total Award £8.25 million |
Regeneration Fund |
Total Award £7 million |
Coalfield Communities Regeneration |
Total Award £5 million over eight North West Local Authorities – Wigan’s allocation = £1.3 million |
Each year it is necessary to produce a Delivery Plan setting out spending plans, achievements, management arrangements and reviewing past performance. It has been agreed that a joint plan be prepared for SRB5 and 6, with a separate plan prepared for the Regeneration Fund and Coalfield Communities which is operated under a different financial arrangement.
The spend proposed is based upon figures agreed at the commencement of the programme, offering the opportunity to plan expenditure and to bring projects forward on a planned basis within a stable financial profile.
It is necessary to secure Council approval to incur expenditure on the regeneration programmes. Table 1 lists the level of funding and expected expenditure this financial year and it is recommended that these be agreed with final approval delegated to the Regeneration Boards. Given that the expenditure is to be met by NWDA, there are no direct consequences on the Council, other than changes in the cash flow implications.
Attached to this report is the joint delivery plan for SRB5 and 6, the Regeneration Fund and Coalfield Communities Programme. This sets out the purpose of the programmes and the management arrangements. It is recommended that this be approved, again with final authority to approve delegated to the Regeneration Boards.
