Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report which asked them to agree to participate in, and accept the role of accountable body for the Three Pits PiP, the Pride in Place Programme for communities in the Grassmoor, Holmewood & Heath, North Wingfield and Tupton areas. The report gave an overview of the programme and detailed the Councils role as accountable body. The report also included a proposed Governance framework for approval.

Cabinet discussed the report. Some Members suggested that there was a need to make national criteria fit local circumstances. It was highlighted that the proposed Board would be community led. It was agreed that, whilst the administration of the scheme would be a challenge, the funding was definitely welcome.
