04/01/2021 - Purchase of leasehold bedsit at 23 St. Margarets Way, HP2 4PA ref: 1374    Recommendations Approved

St. Margarets Way is an allocated housing scheme, which DBC Development are currently progressing through the design stages.
There are four bed sit units, 23-26 St. Margaret’s Way, which also sit within the allocated housing site. These units are in disrepair and could potentially form part of a greater development of the site, as proposed by our architect.
Only one bed sit has been sold, 23 St. Margarets Way, and we have engaged with the leaseholder to purchase through our appointed consultant, Braiser Feeth.
All other bedsits are owned and managed by DBC.
The wider site still remains to be purchased from the General Fund to the Housing Revenue Account.

05/01/2021 - Local Restrictions Support Grant (Open) - COVID-19 Support for Local Businesses ref: 1373    For Determination

As part of its response to the disruption caused by COVID-19, Central Government has announced funding and outline guidance for the distribution of the Local Restrictions Support Grant (Open). These grants are paid to businesses that are open but impacted in the way they can trade by the various tier restrictions.

 

Local authorities are responsible for delivering grants to businesses and have discretion over the design and implementation of their local scheme. The LRSG (Open) funding for local authorities, has been calculated based on data supplied by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) with allocations made for all properties registered as hospitality, accommodation and leisure.

 

This discretionary scheme sits alongside support for businesses which are ordered to close, which is the LRSG (Closed) scheme. Payments for closed businesses are fixed by Central Government, and will be fully funded by them.

 

Dacorum will receive £351k as a tier 2 authority for the period 2nd December to the 19th December when the authority moved in to tier 4 and future grant awards will be announced.
