OD/2501 - Award of UKSPF-funded environmental sustainability and cultural strategy grants - 2024/25

At its meeting of 18th January 2023, Council approved the use of UKSPF funds to promote sustainability works, notably to reduce carbon emissions, and to deliver the council’s Cultural Strategy.

At the same meeting, Council delegated decision-making authority to the Head of Housing and Health, acting in consultation with the Executive Member for Environmental Sustainability regarding environmental grants and contracts and in consultation with the Executive Member for Communities regarding cultural activities.

The grants will contribute to works at five village halls which have been identified in decarbonisation assessments, previously funded through the UKSPF, conducted by Utility Aid. They will contribute to lowering the carbon emissions of the halls.

Another grant is being made to Community Alliance Broxbourne and East Herts for work to follow-on from their previously funded developmental and administrative support for the Arts in East Herts programme. This grant will fund works to support the continuation of the programme beyond the UKSPF funding period.
