Agenda item

The Area Council Manager introduced the item.  Members were reminded that the Area Council budget for the 2016/17 year was £200,000 with an additional amount of approximately £20,000 carried forward from the previous financial year.

Taking into account finances committed and those earmarked, together with anticipated income from Fixed Penalty Notices, £31,000 remained for allocation.

With regards to the Embankment project, members heard how Sheffield University students had now produced a final feasibility report which was available to view via the Area Team.  The report provided a number of areas for future development including possibilities for future funding.

Members heard that the Environment and Volunteering Service was now out to tender. Returns were due in mid December, and interviews were scheduled to take place in early January 2017.

RESOLVED:-

(i)        That the updated financial position for 2016/17 and 2017/18 be noted;

(ii)       That the progress made in taking forward projects agreed at 19^th September, 2016 be noted.
