Devolved Ward Budget and Ward Alliance Funds

Minutes:

The Area Council Manager updated the North Area Council with regard to the financial position and the Ward Alliance budget for each ward for the 2020/21 period.  Members were asked to pay particular attention to the Ward Alliance Covid-19 Recovery Plan document when developing projects during the remainder of 2020/21.  There are still restrictions around safe working practices and volunteer matched funding requirements remain relaxed at the present time.  It was reported that some funding bids have been received and Ward Alliances are starting to meet again by virtual means.  It is vital that Ward Alliance Funding is utilised to enable Covid-19 recovery and to mobilise the community when it is safe to do so. 

 

RESOLVED:-

 

(i)         that the update be noted; and

 

(ii)        that each Ward in the North Area Council area continues to prioritise the efficient expenditure of the Ward Alliance Funds 2019/20, in line with the guidance on spend and taking into account the Covid-19 Recovery Plan.
