Agenda item

Report of the Deputy Town Clerk (on behalf of the Chief Officers’ Group)

Together with resolutions from the Policy and Resource Committee to the Finance Committee and from the Finance Committee to the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee.

The Committee considered a report of the Deputy Town Clerk (on behalf of the Chief Officers Group), together with resolutions from the Finance and Policy and Resources Committees, which had met in May and June. 

Members noted that this report had been presented to a large number of Committees throughout May and June and would be re-presented to the Policy and Resources Committee and the Court of Common Council early in the autumn. 

In general, Members welcomed the report’s common sense approach to the current, somewhat fragmented processes.  Furthermore, it presented an opportunity to share and consolidate the City Bridge Trust’s good grant giving administration across the City of London Corporation.

RESOLVED – That the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee take on the governance of a formal grants programme, encompassing the range of cultural/arts awards currently made by other Committees, such as the Finance Grants Sub Committee.
