7.40 pm Making the Difference Update
Minutes:
The meeting was reminded that each Area Assembly areas had £50k to fund local projects that would make a difference to or improve the local neighbourhood. Northumberland Park and White Hart Lane had received 124 proposals of which 36 had been selected to be delivered for this year, with 6 projects being held in reserve.
Concern was expressed that some of the approved projects would not receive the full funding bid for, and in consequence be unsuccessful. The Chair reiterated that all submissions had been costed carefully to ensure a proper degree of equity in order that as many as possible could be realised. Therefore, an acceptance was required by successful applicants that they should consider reducing the scope of their projects to take account of any reduction of the expected funding.
