Wards affected: (All Wards);

Notice of proposed decision first published: 23/12/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The matter needs to be considered by the Leader on that date because this is a new scheme which need to be implemented as a matter of urgency and so executive approval for the scheme is being sought from the Leader. The Leader is being asked to authorise the Director of Service Delivery to implement and administer the scheme as there is no existing officer delegation in place.
This additional funding has been made available by Government as an emergency measure to support businesses mandated to close under national restrictions. Time does not permit alternative options.

Decision due: 23 Dec 2020 by Leader of Eastbourne Borough Council

Lead member: Councillor David Tutt, Leader of the Council Councillor.Tutt@eastbourne.gov.uk

Lead director: Director of Service Delivery

Department: Service Delivery

Consultation process

This additional funding has been made available by Government as an emergency measure to support businesses. Time does not permit business consultation as awards need to be made urgently, but awards will be made in accordance with existing and future government guidance and the delegation sought permits the scheme to be adjusted if that is found to be necessary or desirable.
