Decision details

This Report is being progressed under the urgency provisions (rule 15) and approval has been given by the relevant senior officers to do so.  Funding applications are received from voluntary sector bodies for the provision of community transport services. This Report gives details of those applications with recommendations on the allocation of funding.  Normally, the decision on this matter would be taken by the Cabinet Member for Service Delivery. However, the Cabinet Member is a trustee of one of the organisations recommended to receive a grant and has, therefore, referred the decision to the Leader of the Council.

The Leader agrees that:

(i) Funding proposals in Appendix 2 to the Report be approved.

(ii) Officers be given delegated powers to reallocate funds, in consultation with the Leader, from approved projects that become unviable owing to the level of funding allocated or to a change in circumstances of the applicant group, should such situations arise during the year.

The awards will ensure the continuation of existing community transport services.

None.
