It is proposed that County Councillors can – through the Area Support Teams - propose one or more local schemes for each division. These schemes are intended to help resolve local issues already identified through local community engagement and in line with the priorities within the Council Plan, and specific local priorities within the Area Plan for the Local Committee Area. These proposals should be submitted to the Local Committee for approval. This budget is for one year only, but it has been agreed that the resources may be spent over a period of two years. 5.0 OPTIONS 5.1 Members can vary or reject any or all of the recommendations, within the delegated framework of the scheme. 6.0 RESOURCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY IMPLICATIONS 6.1 The unallocated balance as at 30 th September 2012 including decisions from the last Local Committee meeting for the Local Members Revenue Scheme Budget is £97,470. 6.2 Should the recommendation within this report all be approved totalling £12,802, this would leave an unallocated balance of £84,668 DAT 26 th October 2012 7.0 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 7.1 Part 5 paragraph 25 of the constitution permits approval of local member schemes which meet community needs and which are within the scheme rules. CONCLUSION The use of this revenue budget, when linked to the Council’s well-being powers does enable a flexible response to perceived local needs, and is capable of resolving some long standing blockages and frustrations for local people, having regard to wider community benefit as a key outcome.
