Ward budget
Each ward has a budget to spend on local priorities. Ward Committees make recommendations to the Corporate Director of Children, Education and Communities on how the money should be spent.
For 2019 to 2020 the ward budget allocation is £17,662. This includes allocation of the Safer Communities Fund agreed on 17 July 2019 as part of the council’s Supplementary Budget Proposals.
Consultations and decisions on funding happen at ward committee meetings and through surveys and councillor surgeries.
