Minutes:
The Managing Director presented a report to advise the Cabinet of 3 funding opportunities, programme activities and seek delegated authority for each. The timescales of those projects were very challenging, not allowing much time for discussion, but the requirement has been recognised, and vital funding was granted. A detailed breakdown of the proposed spend is included in the report.
The Councillors discussed the benefits of the funding and how it will help to support local businesses, tourism, and culture in Hastings. They also recognised the efforts of cultural organisations that secured additional Culture Recovery money to support their work and restart cultural activities.
Councillor Barnett proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Webb.
