Report seeking recommendations in relation to the allocation of the Parish & Community Initiative Fund 2017/18.

The Scrutiny Commission received a report which proposed allocation of the Parish & Community Initiative Fund for 2017/18. It was noted that an unprecedented number of applications had been received, resulting in the fund being oversubscribed. Members were informed of the detailed criteria for projects.

(ii)           The Strategic Leadership Team be recommended to write to the unsuccessful applicants detailed in section 3.4 of the report to inform them that they would be considered for funding in 2018/19;

(iii)          The carry forward request of £1,743 be endorsed to allow a scheme from the previous year to be completed.
