*Amended* decision to allocate underspend within the Covid recovery plan to support oversubscribed grant schemes
The council has worked across all directorates
to support businesses, residents and communities throughout the
pandemic to remain as safe as possible and to prevent and reduce
spread of infection and protect those most vulnerable in our
society.
Our focus now moves towards recovery. Over the coming months the
true impact of the pandemic will become better known for the
economy, community wellbeing and the organisation.
To support the recovery cabinet approved a £6.1m COVID
Recovery Plan which includes the economy, community wellbeing and
organisation. The recovery plan now focuses on the immediate
impactful actions we need to take in the short term. Our priorities
are to:
- Establish Safe and Welcoming Places
- Support Business Viability and Resilience,
- Support Employment
- Support Wellbeing.
There has been underspend identified across some schemes within the
original covid recovery plan allocation whereas these grant schemes
have been oversubscribed.
The allocation of the additional funds will support applications
that have met the grant criteria however were unable to be funded
through the initial process due to funding
