The Northern Gateway project is part of a successful bid to the Sheffield City Region Investment Fund (SCRIF).

The Sheffield City Region Investment Fund grant totals £5.83 million and is not affected by the council’s decision to withdraw its application to be a full member of the Sheffield City Region devolution deal. 

Chesterfield Borough Council has contributed £6.5 million to the scheme, with the Co-op redevelopment being paid for by the private sector.
