Agenda

To receive any apologies for absence and notices of appointment of substitute Members (if any).

To record any interests on agenda matters.

To receive any questions from members of the public and replies thereto.

Note:   A maximum of 30 minutes is allowed for this item.

To receive any announcements that the Chairman may wish to make.

To agree the level of grant funding for external agencies under the Strategic Grants Programme for 2024 onwards.

Discussion with regard to the next item, may require the Community Policy Development Group to pass the following resolution to exclude the press and public having reflected on Article 12 12.02(d) (a presumption in favour of openness) of the Constitution. This decision may be required because consideration of this matter in public may disclose information falling within one of the descriptions of exempt information in Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. The Community PDG would need to decide whether, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption, outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Recommended that under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public be excluded from the next item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 3 respectively of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, namely information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

Strategic partners will deliver 10-minute presentations to Members with the opportunity for question and answer sessions after each presentation. 

To make recommendations to Cabinet on the Grant Funding Awards for 2024/25.
