Data on the Local Growth Fund from 2015 - Find a freedom of information request

Request

As accountable body of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP, please can you provide me with data on the Local Growth Fund, as detailed below, for the period starting in 2015 to the latest available date. Specific data in machine readable format, for each project:

 

1. Project name and description.

 

2. Project delivery timescales (start and end dates).

 

3. Grant amount and total project expenditure or private sector leverage, by year or reporting period.

 

4. Geographic location reported for the project. Please, could you provide this at the most granular geographical level available such as: postcode, Output Area / Lower Super Output Area or a standard electronic vector file (e.g. ESRI shapefile).

 

5. Any reported project outcomes.

 

6. Contact details of the person or department currently accountable for the Local Growth Fund.

 

Please note that I am aware that much of this information is published in the website (https://www.greaterlincolnshirelep.co.uk/funding-and-projects/projects/). What I am asking for is an excel or summary table that summarizes the information on the website and includes things that are not available online for every project, such as start dates and location (post code). I am hoping an excel table or something similar is readily available from the LA as part of internal and external reporting to national funders and as such this request is not too burdensome. Do get in touch if you have any questions

Decision

Please see attached an extract from the formal reporting mechanism with government. Although a project end date may be highlighted as March 2025 Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is currently in discussion with government about ongoing monitoring.  This will likely extend its reporting deadlines and classifications of what it would class as a project end date.

The SLGF return is being worked on but is so much more information that this will take longer.

Should you require the attachments mentioned above please contact customerinformationservice@lincolnshire.gov.uk with the below reference number and this can be provided.
