In September 2022, the Government launched the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) prospectus as an addition to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). In November 2022, the District Council submitted an addendum to our UKSPF Investment Plan to secure an additional £714,251 of capital funding. We have since received confirmation of this funding which will be allocated over the next two financial years, 2023/24 (25%) and 2024/25 (75%) to capital interventions to support our rural communities and business enterprises as part of the REPF.
Further details of the funding and how to apply can be found here.
