Agenda item

The North East Area Council Manager introduced this item and updated Members regarding the North East Area Council budget and progress in each ward in expending the Ward Alliance Fund, in line with priorities.  It was highlighted that  £16191 of the Area Council budget remains uncommitted.  A Member pointed out that community groups should be involved in the delivery of local health checks.  Another Member felt that health checks should be part of a universal service and not a local responsibility.

RESOLVED that:

(i)            Members note the current position of the Area Council Devolved Ward Budget and Ward Alliance Funds, and

(ii)          Each ward prioritises the efficient expenditure of the Ward Alliance funds in line with the guidance on spend.
