## Description
DRIIVe forms part of a wider package of projects being delivered under the Staveley Town Deal, which was awarded £25.2m through the Government’s Towns Fund. The Staveley project can be broken down into a number of themes which, when taken together, are anticipated to have a transformational impact on Staveley town centre.
The Staveley Town Investment Plan (TIP) was prepared to support the Towns Fund bid and sets out the range of Town Deal funded projects, including DRIIVe. The TIP includes a vision for Staveley as a place to start, to stay and to grow, which is supported by thematic pillars of Business and Skills: be inspired to invest and work in Staveley, and Leisure and Living: in Staveley you will be happy, health and have fun. 4 objectives are set out to guide the TIP: Innovation and Enterprise, Inclusive Growth, Place, and Health and Wellbeing. Across these objectives are the two cross-cutting themes of Digital Connectivity and Clean Growth.
