To introduce the Rural England Prosperity Fund
(REPF), available as a top-up to UK Shared Prosperity Funding
(UKSPF), and to gain approval to submit an addendum to our UKSPF
Investment Plan by 30 November 2022 to secure the additional
funding.
1) To note the REPF Prospectus and confirm commitment to the programme as set out in the report; and
2) To approve the proposal to work with key stakeholders to produce an addendum to our UKSPF Investment plan by 30th November 2022, as outlined in 2.0.
Commitment to REPFwill enhance the outcomes of UKSPF and enable further support to rural communities and businesses within Newark and Sherwood. Through collaboration with key stakeholders to develop an investment plan, the Council can ensure an evidence based approach with alignment to local rural needs and opportunities.
There is the option not to deliver REPF. Without the submission of an Investment Plan, no REPF funds will be allocated. This option is not recommended to achieve the most successful outcomes for rural communities and businesses.
