Award of a Business Improvement Grant in Lees District Centre
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Business, Employment and Enterprise
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The purpose of the report is to seek approval
to award a Business Improvement Grant in Lees District
Centre.
Decision:
RESOLVED - That:
A Business Improvement Grant be approved for £8000 in respect
of Assure Certification Ltd, 96 High Street, Lees
Reasons for the decision:
Option 1 - Do nothing. If the council chooses
to adopt this approach then the council's regeneration aspirations
for Lees District Centre would be delayed. There is potential that
the appearance of these premises and Lees District Centre could
decline further.
Option 2 - Approve the award of the Business Improvement Grant.
Applicants will enter into a contract with the council, to ensure
that works are being undertaken satisfactorily with claw back
arrangements for non-compliance. Funding takes place once the
contract is completed and the works completed to the satisfaction
of the council.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1.
