As a result of this resolution, three committees now cover the northern, central and southern parts of the borough. 1.2 Central Sefton Area Committee is formed by bringing together the wards of Blundellsands, Church, Harington, Manor, Molyneux, Park, Ravenmeols, Sudell and Victoria. 1.3 Although Central Sefton Area Committee represents the interests of these wards, individual ward budgets still exist. Ward councillors retain responsibility for determining how best to use funding allocated to their individual ward. 2.0 2016/17 Area Committee Budget 2.1 The following table sets out the 2016/17 budget allocations available to each ward as per current Area Committee arrangements. 2016/17 2016/17 2016/17 2015/16 2016/17 Ward Available Balance 2016/17 Municipal Balance b/f Commitments Year Allocation Budget Available £ £ £ £ £ WARD Blundellsands 15,819.59 4,509.00 20,328.59 0.00 20,328.59 Church 2,978.04 4,509.00 7,487.04 0.00 7,487.04 Harington 1,568.37 4,432.00 6,000.37 0.00 6,000.37 Manor 4,161.38 4,509.00 8,670.38 0.00 8,670.38 Molyneux 6,785.89 4,542.00 11,327.89 0.00 11,327.89 Park 4,186.37 4,797.00 8,983.37 0.00 8,983.37 Ravenmeols 13,962.14 4,432.00 18,394.14 0.00 18,394.14 Sudell 3,640.58 4,459.00 8,099.58 0.00 8,099.58 Victoria 7,107.34 4,509.00 11,616.34 0.00 11,616.34 Total 60,209.70 40,698.00 100,907.70 0.00 100,907.70 ** Please note that committed amounts from 2015/16 for Church Ward and Manor were altered between this report, and the Area Committee report of March 2016.
