Delivering the Destination Heritage in Hinckley & Bosworth and North Warwickshire Areas To seek approval for income and expenditure budgets in preparation for receipt of LEADER funding for a heritage consultant role. Minutes: In presenting the report to the Executive, it was explained that the target date for committing all LEADER project funds by the North Warwickshire and Hinckley & Bosworth Local Action Group (LAG) had been extended to 30 June 2019 which would allow the LAG to strengthen projects and ensure the funding for the area is fully committed. It was noted that the majority of LEADER funds (£1.1m) must be committed before the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 and the full £1,276,796.00 must be committed by 30 June. It was further noted that the LEADER programme had opened to new expressions of interest for grants between £2,500 and £75,000.

It was emphasised that this decision was required in order to set up the income and expenditure budgets and was not recommending any changes to approved budgets or costs to the authority.

RESOLVED –
