SUPPORTING INFORMATION
At its meeting in September 2011, Cabinet agreed to allocate £330k from Priority Growth to fund
a new Ward Budget Scheme. With effect from 0 1 October 2011, £15k was allocated to each of
the 22 Wards. The sum did not have to be spent in the 2011/12 financial year and any unspent
balance was carried forward to future financial years.
An additional Ward Budget allocation of £10k for each Ward was agreed by Cabinet on 19 June
2014 and a further allocation of £20k for each Ward agreed by Cabinet on 12 February 2015. At
Cabinet on 14 February 2019, additional growth of £440k, £20k per Ward, was prioritised (with
approval at Cabinet on 18 April 2019 to release an estimated £203k of the £440k to top-up each
Ward Budget to £15k, where needed).
At Cabinet on 17 June 2021, it was agreed that all Ward Budgets would be topped up (where
needed) to £10k. It was estimated that £75k would be required for this. The actu al amount
needed, taking into account new proposals received up to 24 June 2021 wa s £82k, funded from
the remaining £237k of the April 2019 Ward Budget growth award.
Ward Budget funding is to be used for proposals that make a difference in a local area and to give
residents a chance to influence how their local priorities are met. Primarily the funds are intended
for one-off expenditure on physical works, events or activities that have a positive impact within
the Ward. Proposals are to be submitted with the agreement of all relevant Ward Councillors.
A further ten new proposals covering eight Ward Budgets and totalling £ 10,090 have been
received; the details of these are set out in Appendix A of this report.

Since the commencement of the scheme in October 2011, a total of 7 18 proposals have been
received. Of these, 708 proposals have already been approved covering all 22 W ards within
Hillingdon and ten new proposals are recommended within this report. The updated balance of
funds for each ward under the Ward Budget Scheme is set out in Appendix B.
Financial Implications
The aggregate growth allocation for the Ward Budget Scheme is £1,430,000. The funding for the
programme runs from 01 October 2011 onwards, based on the original £330,000 budget for the
initiative approved by Cabinet on 29 September 2011; £220,000 approved by Cabinet on 19 June
2014; £440,000 approved by Cabinet on 12 February 2015 and a further £440,000 approved by
Cabinet on 14 February 2019 (of which £203,180 – as agreed by Cabinet on 18 April 2019 – was
allocated to top each of the Ward Budget balances up to £15,000 where needed).
As referenced above, there was a further top up (where required) in June 2021 of individual Ward
Budget allocations to £10,000, utilising £82,203 of the residual April 2019 growth award.
The total allocations approved up to August 2021 were £1,052,605 at which stage, the unallocated
balance on the earmarked reserve available for distribution was £ 377,395. The allocation of
£10,090 proposed within this report for October 2021 will take the total allocations approved to
£1,062,695, leaving an unallocated balance of £367,305 on the reserve available for distribution.
