(1) To note the Town Deal offer of £19.3million from Government.
(2) To delegate authority to the Chief Executive to agree, on behalf of Lewes District Council, the Heads of Terms with Government, as set out in Appendix 1, to enable the Newhaven Town Deal to be progressed.
In accordance with section 17 of the Council’s Policy and Performance Advisory Committee Procedure Rules, the call-in procedure shall not apply to this decision given its urgency. A decision is urgent if, in the view of the decision maker, any delay likely to be caused by the call-in process would, for example, seriously prejudice the Council’s or the public’s interests.
In accordance with this section, it is the opinion of the decision maker that this decision is an urgent one and therefore exempt from call-in.
