Award of a Business Improvement Grant in Shaw 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 Shaw District Centre.

Decision:

RESOLVED - That:
A Business Improvement Grant is approved for £1,437 in respect of The 88 Chinese takeaway', 12 Milnrow Road, Shaw.

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 - Do nothing. If the council chooses to adopt this approach then the council's regeneration aspirations for Shaw District Centre would be delayed. There is potential that the appearance of these premises and Shaw District Centre could decline.
Option 2 - Approve the award of the Business Improvement Grant. Business Improvement Grant applicants will enter into a conditional grant agreement 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.
