A report stated: “The funding package to meet the costs of the £3,064,000 project will be largely met from the Towns Fund contributing £2,664,000.

“The remaining sum will be met by the council contributing in-kind land valued at £250,000, plus £150,000 previously allocated in the approved Land Reclamation Capital Budget.”

Subject to the funding from Staveley Town Deal Board, cabinet members also approved the placing of orders to commence the detailed design stage of the development.

Tenders will now be invited for the design and build phase of the project shortly.
