This report is to approve acceptance of Sheffield City Region’s Sustainable Travel Access Fund (STAF) revenue grant for the years 2017/18 to 2019/20. There has been a delay in bringing this report due to the preparation of the grant agreement.
The grant in the sum of £2,472,838 will come from the Department for Transport to the Sheffield City Region (SCR). Which will in turn be passed on to the Council via a further grant agreement from SCR. The Council will provide match funding in the sum of £266,984. The Council will also be the Accountable Body for the grant given to us by SCR. Therefore the Council will be responsible for the obligations and liabilities of the grant agreement placed on the Sheffield City Region, which have been passed on from SCR to the Council.
