Agenda item

The Area Council Manager spoke to the item, noting that each of the Ward Alliance Funds still had significant amounts of finance remaining for allocation.  Members noted that this was not reflective of the work being undertaken by Ward Alliances and by Community Development Officers.  It was also noted that officers had been successful in securing funds from other sources to support activities.

The work of Ward Alliances and Community Development Officers was commended, and the likely demand on the Ward Alliance Funds going forward was acknowledged.  Members felt that the Ward Alliance Funds remained in a strong position to support much needed activity over the winter period.

RESOLVED that the report be received.
