Agenda item

Chris Dean, Head of Programme Delivery – Moors for the Future Project, and Debra Wilson, Communication Programme Manager, introduced the report which requested support to develop a LIFE application to continue the Moors for the Future Partnership’s work across the South Pennine Moors to be submitted in January 2019.

It was noted that an expression of interest had been submitted but no response to that had yet been received.

Some concern was expressed regarding European Union (EU) funding in relation to Britain’s exit from the EU however Officers were confident that Defra would still guarantee a successful bid and would seek specific assurance from them.

The recommendation as set out in the report was moved, seconded, voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

To approve the request to develop a full proposal for the Elements of LIFE project.
