2008/09 Ward Committee Budget
Minutes:
Cllr Gunnell asked residents to refer to the provisional list of local improvement schemes for funding detailed in Your Ward. She explained that the ward committee had considered schemes on the basis of the voting priorities by residents and the Micklegate Ward Committee Neighbourhood Action Plan (NAP) Ambition Statements. Residents were asked to comment on the list before members of the ward committee could agree on a final list of schemes to ratify at the meeting.
Q – Pauline Buchanan asked why the grant application for training for members of St Clements Preservation Trust not been selected as it would fit under 3 of the 4 NAP Ambitions Statements
A - Cllr Gunnell informed the meeting that this scheme did not receive a high number of votes but should extra funding become available later in the financial year, this scheme may be considered.
Q - A resident asked why scheme MK-08-10 had £5,000 allocated to it as the scheme was only to consider ways of improving the area opposite Sainsbury’s on Bishopthorpe Road.
A – Cllr Merrett explained that there are a number of possible elements to a project such as this. It will require partnership working to bring funding in from other streams. This is a project that will need to be worked up and costed over the coming months. Kristina Davey added that the funding would be split between capital and revenue expenditure.
AGREED: the provisional list of local improvement schemes published in Your Ward to be formally ratified by Micklegate Ward Committee.
