01/04/2020 - Decisions made - 1 April 2020 – LEP Consultation Meeting ref: 815    Recommendations Approved

In view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing rules, it is not currently possible to hold formal meetings of the LEP Board. There were three items of business which were due to be considered by the LEP Board and could not wait until the next formal meeting of the Board. In the circumstances, the decisions have been made under my delegated powers. The reasons the decisions are required are:

Governance Arrangements
(1) To take forward recommendations for nominations of private sector panels to be approved by the Combined Authority and extensions to the terms of office of existing panel members.
Devolution
(2) To endorse the WY Devolution Deal to enable preparations to commence on developing workstreams to implement the deal.
Corporate Performance
(3) To enable the content of the LEP Annual Delivery Plan to be finalised once final financial and performance data for the 2019/20 has been fed into the Plan and to enable the final design of the plan to be approved.

06/04/2020 - Covid 19 Bus Operator Payments ref: 814    Recommendations Approved

A package of financial support to the bus sector affected by Covid 19 has been introduced by Department for Transport. Included in this is a request that Local Transport Authorities continue to make payments for concessionary fares and tendered bus services at the level that was being paid before the emergency despite the downturn in patronage and the reduction in service levels (re DfT letter 26 March 2020).
This decision is to observe this request and make payments subject to conditions which:
• Safeguard a network of bus services during the emergency.
• Provide for open book analysis of the costs and revenues of the bus sector in West Yorkshire during the emergency.
