Decision:
Andy Bamber, Service Head Safer Communities, introduced the report concerning a grant for young people which enabled them to fund beneficial youth activities and projects for themselves and the local community. He noted that there was a historic funding under-representation in the north east of the borough which was being addressed in conjunction with the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services
Councillor Saunders and Councillor Golds supported the mechanisms now being implemented for the distribution of grants. Councillor Golds noted that, in addition to the north east borough, Isle of Dogs was under-represented in regard to this funding and requested that this be investigated.
Commissioners did not wish to make any observations and agreed the recommendations as set out in the report
