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 01 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).
Special Urgency Cabinet Member Report – 25 March 2022 Page 4
Part 1 – Public
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 actual amount
needed, taking into account new proposals received up to 24 June 2021 wa s £84k, 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 21 new proposals covering twelve Wa rd Budgets and totalling £36,761 have been
received; the details of these are set out in Appendix A of this report.

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 £84,278 of the residual April 2019 growth award.
The total allocations approved to date were £1,109,476 at which stage, the unallocated balance
on the earmarked reserve available for distribution was £320,524. The allocation of £36,761

leaving an unallocated balance of £283,763 on the reserve available for distribution.
