A representative of the Assistant Director for Legal and Democratic Governance submitted a report of the Director of Place Management (copies of which had been circulated) providing an update on the delivery of the Cheadle District Centre Action Plan, including initial thoughts as to how the £5,000 from UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) could be allocated, as well as the proposed support provision for large Local Centres.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:

·         A meeting was scheduled to take place in December 2023 to consider options for spending the UKSPF funding.

·         It was reported that there were a number of new businesses in the area.

·         It was noted that the timeframe in which to use the £5,000 was limited and so the team were working hard to progress discussions as to how the funding should be allocated.

Thanks were expressed to officers for their work to date.

RESOLVED – (a) That the progress made in developing the Cheadle District Centre Action Plan be noted.

(b) That the plans to develop an information portal to support businesses and organisations in large Local Centres be noted.
