Decision

Recommendations approved:

1. That the neighbourhood priorities proposed within each neighbourhood management meeting are agreed (as per paragraph 26 of the report).
2. That when scoping out the detail and financial resources required for each priority, financial or in-kind contributions are sought from partners within the neighbourhood including parish councils, County Council, voluntary sector and other stakeholders.
3. Where a priority is subsequently scoped out as requiring increased financial resources, consideration will be made in consultation with the Executive Member (Early Intervention) for this neighbourhood priority to be carried out at additional cost, phased, or developed further as an individual corporate project.

Reasons for decision

The council is committed to supporting projects and partnership delivery that focuses on the wider determinants of health as these issues impact on the daily lives of our residents, how happy and healthy they feel living in in their community and in turn their individual life choices and outcomes.

Alternative options considered and rejected

To not support the continuation and development of neighbourhood priorities across the borough and not make the £50,000 funding available. This was rejected for the reasons stated above.
