(5)       
To agree to an amendment to the current Brent Carbon Offset Fund
Allocation Policy to remove the current weighting/proportions

be used to maximise both the overall funding the council can
attract and the outcomes that can be delivered for residents and to
meet its climate commitments; and, to delegate authority to the
Corporate Director, Partnerships, Housing and Resident Services, in
consultation with the Cabinet Member for Employment, Innovation and
Climate Action, to continue to have overall responsibility for the
oversight and operationalisation of the Policy.
