  Report HPR2024/009

The report provided an update on the Local Authority’s membership of the Local London sub-regional partnership.

A Member welcomed the funding that had been awarded to the Local Authority to roll out dark-fibre infrastructure across parts of the Borough, including for a number of libraries.  Another Member noted that the Local Authority and its partner, Local London, had secured a total allocation of £734k funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to be used in the delivery of employment and skills projects in Bromley.  The programme had officially launched on 23 January 2024 and would operate until March 2025 with the aim of supporting over 200 economically inactive people to engage with key worker support and over 30 individuals into employment, including self-employment.

RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
