Agenda item

The Area Council Manager provided members with an update on the allocation, spending and outstanding finance within the Ward Alliance Funds.  From a total balance of £36,970.05, £35,692.65 remained to be allocated.

Members expressed some concern that only 2 applications had been received, possibly due to the interpretation of the rigidity surrounding the Covid-19 criteria.  The Area Council Manager informed members that although the report mentioned match funding requirements, due to the current situation this had been relaxed so any new applications received would not necessarily require it. 

It was noted that a virtual Ward Alliance meeting was in the process of being arranged to discuss these issues.

RESOLVED that the report be received.
