Decision details

Purpose of Report: To seek permission to submit a Community Led Local Development Bid (CLLD), in December 2013, in respect of an East-West corridor comprised of several adjoining wards within the City including Heworth, Hull Road, Guildhall and Westfield Wards together with a number of 'local super output areas' within the Acomb, Holgate and Micklegate Wards.

The outline CLLD proposal will bring all partners and pilot initiatives together in the area, predominantly addressing jobs, skills and growth and anti poverty measures. Key partners will include the voluntary sector, City of York Council, local tenants and residents associations, police, University of York and private sector partners such as local businesses.

The Cabinet Member is asked to approve a Community Led Local Development Bid.

Resolved: To support CYC’s bid to secure Community Led Local             Development (CLLD) status for identified wards /                           neighbourhoods in the City.

Reason:     CYC supports the CLLD bid and acts as the                              accountable body, leading to a better resourced and                   co-ordinated approach to neighbourhood based                             interventions within the target communities over the                       forthcoming six years.
