Report of the Cabinet Member for Transport and
District Regeneration providing an update on TCF (Transforming
Cities Fund) programme seeking approval for delegation of decision
to accept funding and implement scheme proposals.
(ii) Approves the changes to the TCF programme in line with DfT change control and DfT approvals and provide approval for all schemes for the remaining programme as set out in Appendix 1.
(iii) Approves the addition of £0.12M, to the programme in 2022/2023 to be funded by external contributions, as detailed in paragraph 34 and Appendix 2.
(iv) Approves any scheme consultation as reviewed and agreed with the Cabinet Member for Transport & District Regeneration.
1. Financial Procedure Rules (FPRs) require that approval to spend at scheme level is secured to enable the delivery of the Council’s capital programme.
2. The details of the projects are included to provide Members with relevant information about the investment being made in the City’s infrastructure through the TCF Programme.
3. To amend the budget allocation between schemes in response to DfT change control and updated budget information following individual scheme progression.
1. Initial change control submitted 6 December 2021 – not accepted by DfT with a risk of DfT withholding £12.3M of TCF grant.
2. Reverting back to schemes included in original bid – insufficient funding to implement these schemes due to unprecedented inflationary pressures over the last year.
