Agenda item

The Area Council Manager introduced a report outlining the use of the Ward Alliance Fund during 2017/18 and noting that the full allocation had been spent in the year.  It was noted that Ward Alliance funding had been increased by an allocation from the Area Council in 2017/18 and there would be a need to consider in due course whether to make a similar allocation during 2018/19. 

The meeting noted that the Penistone Pigeon Defences had not proved particularly successful and other approaches may need to be considered in due course. Twiggs Clean and Tidy contracted service have indicated that they would ensure the cleanliness of the areas affected ahead of specific events to be held in the town centre if sufficient involvement from businesses and volunteers could be secured.

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
