Grant Application for Whitby Old Town Hall

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Community Development

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Approval for the submission of a funding application to the YNYCA’s Local Authority High Streets Fund for £55,000 to support delivery of the Whitby Old Town Hall project

Reasons for the decision:

To enable North Yorkshire Council to seek external capital funding to support a priority regeneration project identified through the Town Investment Plan programme.

Alternative options considered:

The option of not applying for external funding was discounted, as no alternative funding has been identified for the fit out of Whitby Old Town Hall and the opportunity would be missed. This application is timely with the completion of the refurbishment project.
