Consultation has taken place today in West Offices with representatives of the five council community centres (Foxwood, Bell Farm, Tang Hall, Sanderson House, Burton Stone Lane) on progress with the allocation of the funding which has been restored to support community centres. This follows the Emergency Budget which was passed by the council in July following the election in May. In the case of community centres this reversed the £70,000 cut in the Labour/Green Budget in February this year. The community centres were being consulted before the officer report is written to progress the work with the re-investment of funding.
A policy paper will be approved by Andrew Waller (as Executive Member for Environment) on 23rd November following a cross party scrutiny meeting on 17th November.
Sanderson House, Chapelfields – one of the 5 community centres which have had their funding cuts reversed by the incoming Council administration.
