Ward Councillors' Empowerment Fund

 

 

The Ward Councillors' Empowerment Fund is an 18 month funding programme commencing on the 1st of October 2019. Every B&NES Ward Councillor will be allocated the sum of £2,000 to distribute in their ward. There will be a need to show local engagement for the project. In the parished areas Councillors must demonstrate the support of their local Parish Councils in drawing up proposals. There are no limitations on members pooling funds and within the city of Bath there might be issues and projects that could benefit from such an approach.
