as set out within the submission (Appendix

b) delegates authority to the Deputy Chief Executive in consultation with the Leader of the Council to approve the governance arrangements for the programme.
c) delegates authority to the Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the Head of Governance People and Performance, to negotiate, approve and complete all relevant documentation including legal requirements.
(Generic Delegations 2 & 3 will be used to enact this recommendation)
d)
requests that Full Council

receipt and allocation of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
funding.
Reasons for the Recommendations
Crawley has been
allocated £1m over three years under the UK Shared Prosperity
Fund (UKSPF), part of the Government’s Levelling-Up agenda.
To obtain that funding a submission has been submitted by the
Council following an approach agreed at the Towns’ Fund
Board. As the accountable body, the Council must put in place
suitable arrangements to receive, manage and distribute the funding
in such a way as to ensure delivery.
