The Committee received a report from Safer Communities Section Manager regarding the Safer City Grant Scheme 2013/14.

In response to members’ questions the Safer Communities Section Manager confirmed the following:

(i)   Applications could be submitted up until December, with any underspend then being returned to the central grant pot.

(ii)  Any further grant applications would be determined by the Director of Customer and Community Services in consultation with Ward Councillors.

(iii)                    Support with the application process was available from the Safer Communities Project Officer.

(iv)                   Projects could be managed by other agencies on behalf of Resident’s Associations if required.

Members resolved (unanimously) to:

Approve the application from the Rustat Neighbourhood Association for a Safer City grant of up to £5,000 (with a minimum requirement of £3,124.06) to pay for the installation of a column light on the path between Flamsteed Road and Derby Road.
