Decision Maker: Executive Member for Highways & Transportation
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
To propose that the Executive Member for
Highways and Transportation in consultation with the Corporate
Director - Business and Environmental Services, the Corporate
Director - Strategic Resources and the Assistant Chief Executive
(Legal and Democratic Services) agrees that the Council submits an
expression of interest to the Department for Transport highlighting
how the Council would spend up to £4,880,000 capital and
£405,080 revenue indicatively allocated funding associated
with the LEVI Capital Fund.
To submit an expression of interest and
proforma to the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI)
Capital and Capability funds respectively.
Submitting an Expression of Interest to the
LEVI Capital Fund to receive £4.88m will, if successful,
enable NYC to support delivery of electric vehicle (EV)
infrastructure contributing toward its decarbonisation ambitions
and reduces the resource requirements for the Authority.
Additionally, submitting a proforma for the LEVI Capability Fund
with an indicative allocation of £405,080 will enable us to
pay for the resource required to deliver those EVCPs without
burdening existing budgets.
Alternative options have been considered and
consulted on (internally and with the LEVI Support Body) throughout
the EOI and proforma development and the final recommendation is a
result of the feedback received from those key stakeholders and the
experience of officers.
The option not to submit an expression of interest and not seek
further LEVI funding was ruled out on the basis of forecast costs
for delivery of the network required across North Yorkshire.
