Minutes:
The Mayor introduced the report on the ‘Unlocking Opportunities’ Funding for employment support programmes and explained why the proposal was to move away from the original European Social Fund (ESF) to instead use S106 funding. This was due to the complex reporting requirements of the ESF and also so that the Council could target different groups of residents that it considered most in need of support.
Councillor David Edgar, Cabinet Member for Resources, introduced the report on the London Square proposals. He highlighted that this proposal supported the provision of new open space in an area of the Borough with very limited existing space.
The Mayor welcomed both proposals. He agreed the recommendations as set out.
