That Cabinet instructs the Director of Regeneration to arrange for the submission of the “Island Green Link” project as the councils bid to the government’s Levelling Up Fund - Round 2

Councillor Jones-Evans declared an interest in this item as she was the Chairman of Newport Heritage Action Zone.

Cllr Fuller declared an interest as he was the Chairman of the Local Access Forum which had expressed support for the west wight link.

Further funding was available under round 2 of the Levelling Up Fund, which must be used for a transport related project. A further bid was being submitted for the Island Green Link project. Lots of work had been done with landowners to enhance and improve the cycling and walking paths. The Green Link survey was currently live on the council’s website until 24 June.

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet instructs the Director of Regeneration to arrange for the submission of the “Island Green Link” project as the councils bid to the government’s Levelling Up Fund - Round 2.
