Recommendations

That Executive:

       i.         Approve an exceptional allocation of £350,000 to support the Westway Boxing Club expansion project, comprising £236,000 from the Overdale School demolition underspend and £114,000 from the residual Eastfield capital receipts reserve associated with the TIP process.

     ii.         Confirm that this decision is an ‘exception’ based on urgency and project readiness and does not alter the policy as agreed at the Executive on 16 December 2025 that all other allocations will be made only through the community?led investment plan and TIP process.

    iii.         Delegate authority to the Assistant Chief Executive – Local Engagement, in consultation with the Section 151 Officer and the Assistant Chief Executive – Legal and Democratic Services, to instruct on the capital grant funding agreements and associated usual compliance with capital expenditure requirements (including the Council’s Procurement and Contract Procedure Rules and, to the extent applicable, the Subsidy Control Act 2022, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023).
