Chief Executive Report (PM)

Minutes:

The Chief Executive mentioned there had been a meeting between National Parks England, Steve Reeds and the Special Advisory Team.  It was noted that it is unlikely that information will be received regarding what the core grant shall be for the next year until January 2025.

 

The following points were noted:

 

·         The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act (LURA) had a new duty for public bodies to further National Park purposes.  The guidance from government has been slow in publication but hopefully will be available by Christmas 2024. 

·         The increase in the employer national insurance contribution is likely to cost the Peak District National Park an extra £220,000.  Currently it is unclear if there is any dispensation for National Park Authorities. 

·         The five National Park missions tie-in with the five missions of the Government.

 

 

RESOLVED:

 

To note the report.
