Issue - meetings

To inform Scrutiny Commission of the allocation of the Parish & Community Initiative Fund for 2019/20.

Members were informed of the agreed allocation of grants under the Parish and Community Initiative Fund. A member suggested streamlining the application process due to the amount of time it had taken to approve requests or having a rolling application process with quarterly decisions. Other changes were discussed and dismissed, such as involving members on the panel and amending the application criteria. Members were, however, clear that the scheme worked well and had brought about many benefits and came to the conclusion that no change was required.

RESOLVED –

(i)            The allocations be noted;

(ii)           No change to the scheme be recommended.
