Community Council Question to Council Assembly
Each community council may submit one question to a council assembly meeting that has previously been considered and noted by the community council.
Any question to be submitted from a community council to council assembly should first be the subject of discussion at a community council meeting. The subject matter and question should be clearly noted in the community council’s minutes and thereafter the agreed question can be referred to the constitutional team.
The community council is invited to consider if it wishes to submit a question to the ordinary meeting of council assembly in July 2015. Minutes: The community council agreed to submit the following question, which had originally been raised during public question time, to council assembly:
“What plans does the council have to improve planning, housing and regeneration policy to ensure easier access to information on progress, better access to opportunities for local people, and better standards by developers in employment?” |

Allocation of Neighbourhoods Fund 2015/16
Note: This is an executive function.
Members to consider the recommendations contained within the report. Supporting documents: Minutes: Members discussed the information contained in the report.
Note: This is an executive function.
RESOLVED:
That a total of £160,224 of the Neighbourhoods Fund 2015/16 from the list of applications outlined in Appendix 1 of the report be allocated. This amount consists of two elements, namely £150,000 available for 2015/16 and £10,224 of unallocated funding carried forward from previous years revenue programmes, known as Cleaner, Greener, Safer Revenue (CGS Revenue) and Community Council Fund (CCF). The actual allocations are detailed in Appendix 2 of the minutes.
The allocations for Cathedrals and Faraday wards will be decided at a special meeting of the Community Council on 9 April 2015. The reason for the decisions being deferred is that after the decisions were announced, it came to light that due to administrative errors, some applications from Cathedrals and Faraday Wards were not included in the selection process or placed wrongly in another ward. |
