Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Chief Grants Officer which advised Members of 6 grants, totalling £52,526, which had been presented for approval under delegated authority to the Chief Grants Officer in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

Members remarked that funding listed for City Bridge Trust to complete the Parklife London website as part of the Trust’s Growing Localities Initiative, looked as if the Trust was paying itself. Members and officers discussed that this additional funding had been agreed as a delegated authority through the grant application approved by the Committee.

Members requested that these instances be clarified in future, either through the Chief Grants Officer’s report or by including a category of delegated authorities to note such exceptions in the report received by the Committee.
