TOWN AND AREA PLANS (QUARTERLY REPORT)
To consider a report by the Corporate Director: Economic & Community Ambition and the Economic & Business Development Manager (copy attached) which monitors the Council’s performance in delivering its town plans and their benefit to the towns themselves and outlying communities.
10.55 a.m. – 11.35 a.m.
Minutes:
The Economic and Business Development Manager introduced the
Town & Area Plans report (previously circulated) to monitor the Council’s
performance in delivering its Town Plans and their benefit to the towns
themselves and outlying communities.
All Town & Area Plans (apart from Bodelwyddan)
would be adopted by the end of the financial year.
The Chief Executive had requested a full review of the town
plans to review the impact how it measured against cost resource. The review would take place early in the
financial year.
All allocations had been agreed by Cabinet. There had currently been an additional funding
allocation of £356,000 towards town & area plans in 2014/15 for which a bid
could be submitted.
The approach had been consistent across each rural
area. Funding which had been allocated
from the town & area budget was a year 1 priority. The plans were a multi-year scheme, not just
a one year plan.
Another source of funding was external grant funding. Town and Community Councils were putting a
lot of effort into exploring alternative funding streams for projects. There was also a possibility of match
funding.
Councillor Bobby Feeley requested
it be recorded that the “Open Doors” weekend in Ruthin
should be continued as it attracted a large amount of visitors into the town.
RESOLVED that the Communities Scrutiny Committee note the progress made with
the delivery of Town and Area Plans.
