The Clay Cross Town Deal Board has been formed by the
Council to develop an Investment Plan for the Government’s
potential Town Fund allocation to Clay Cross.
The Government announced in September 2019 that 101
towns had been invited to develop proposals for a
multi-million pound Town Deal, and Clay
Cross had been included in the list.
In November 2019, the Government released the Towns
Fund Prospectus, which set out detailed instructions for the 101
towns. More information can be found
in
The Towns Fund Prospectus.
The Clay Cross Town Deal Board will serve as an
advisory function and will be the vehicle through which the vision
and strategy for the Town will be defined.
The board will produce a Town Investment Plan, which
will inform the Town Deal proposals and include the amount of
investment to be secured through the Towns Fund.
The role of the Town Deal Board is to,
Develop and agree an evidence-based Town Investment
Plan,
Develop a clear programme of
interventions,
Co-ordinate resources and influence
stakeholders
