As a result it has had some difficulties in meeting its core commitments to the local people. One of its targets for the period is to attract 500 users and has achieved 300 towards this target. Next year it is hoping to open all evenings and over the weekend for activities to promote the personal and social development of young people through a variety of activities. Officers’ recommendations: Officers recommend that if an inflationary increase is agreed than this should be reflected in the funding. Otherwise the funding should remain at the level of last years award (£5,000).
