Report on the use of Devolved Ward Budget and Ward Alliance Funds

Minutes:

The report was introduced by the Area Council Manager, and attention drawn to the levels of finance carried forward, and current levels of expenditure.  It was noted that most wards had a number of projects pending.

 

Members felt that the cost of road signs, hanging baskets and Christmas lights did not represent value for money and that it was impossible for the Ward Alliances to fund these year on year.  The possibility of business sponsorship for the Christmas lights was discussed, although it was noted that there may be a health and safety issue here.

 

RESOLVED

 

(i)            That each Ward prioritises the efficient expenditure of the remaining Ward Alliance Funds in line with the guidance on spend.
