COVID Winter Grant Scheme - Key Decision

Decision type: Key

Reason Key: Expenditure, Income or Savings = £750k or more;

Decision status: For Determination

Notice of proposed decision first published: 04/12/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The decision is urgent and cannot be deferred because applying the standard 28 days’ notice would take this decision to the end of December before it could be implemented, at a time where the potential ability to mobilise and deploy sufficient resources would be severely constrained. Additionally, this would reduce the period for which the support is available to citizens in need by 25%. A 28-day notice period would also prevent any free school meals vouchers going out to schools in time for distribution prior to the Christmas break.

Decision due: Not before 4th Dec 2020 by Leader of the Council

Lead member: Leader of the Council

Lead director: Corporate Director for COVID Response and Recovery

Department: Commercial & Operations
