UK Shared Prosperity Fund: one-year extension and reduced funding
Cabinet noted that UK Government will extend the scheme for 2025-26 at around 60% of the previous funding, and delegated decisions on the 2025-26 allocation for Anchor Projects and the Open Call to the Assistant Chief Executive, with the Deputy Leader. It agreed a policy for project change requests, and approved the Pembrokeshire Eco-Park in principle as a project part-financed by the fund, with formal approval delegated to the Director of Resources. It also asked for an Open Call to be launched if possible, with successful applications to be decided by Cabinet at an extraordinary meeting on 31 March 2025.

UK Shared Prosperity Fund: call-in of Cabinet decision
The Committee voted 10 to 2, with no abstentions, to refer the decision back to Cabinet. It recommended that UKSPF schemes for 2025-26 and later years be evaluated by a politically balanced committee or panel of seven. That panel would make recommendations to the Director of Resources, a senior officer, and the Deputy Leader, who would give final approval. The reason given was to increase councillor involvement and transparency in awarding the UKSPF.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
