To recommend the allocation of the parish & community initiative fund and Hinckley community initiative fund 2023/24.

Since preparation of the report, the application from Cadeby Community Trust has been withdrawn. The result of this is that the funding allocation at 2.1 of the report will be reduced to £78,383.

Consideration was given to the recommended allocation of the Parish and Community Initiative Fund. It was noted that the application from Cadeby had been withdrawn.

It was requested that the scoring system by clearly communicated to the parish councils and that regular deadline reminders be sent.

Concern was expressed that some funding remained unallocated and following discussion it was requested that it be rolled over to the following year. It was explained that the forthcoming review would consider whether any aspect of the scheme or criteria should be changed.

RESOLVED –

(i)            SLT be RECOMMENDED to approve the funding allocations outlined in the report;

(ii)          The recommendation to review the scheme be endorsed;

(iii)         SLT be RECOMMENDED to allow the eight schemes from the previous year to be funded and completed.
