339W
§ Mr. CabornThe Government is issuing today supplementary guidance for Round 4 of the Single Regeneration Budget Challenge Fund. The guidance describes the Government's policies and priorities for the Challenge Fund, which are
a requirement that proposals for funding contribute to the Government's Manifesto commitment to carry out a concerted attack against the multiple causes of social and economic decline, and fit with its new policies, including those relating to employment, including child care provision, education, crime, housing, public health and sustainable development;a greater emphasis on tackling the needs of communities in the most deprived areas;a requirement that proposals should take account of existing strategies for promoting economic development and tackling deprivation; anda requirement for a more collaborative approach between those preparing proposals, their partners and Government Offices for the Regions in order to arrive at a shared undertanding of regeneration needs and priorities, and to stimulate fresh thinking.In addition to the supplementary guidance, each Government Office for the Region has issued its own regional guidance for the purposes of Round 4 of the Challenge Fund. This is intended to give extra help to bidders in putting together their proposals. Government Offices for the Regions will also be setting up small Advisory Panels to help them in considering Round 4 bids. These panels will have, amongst others, representatives from the business sector, local authorities and the voluntary sector.
Copies of the supplementary guidance have been placed in the Library of the House.
