Summary of
Decision
 
The Executive Director for Resources, in
consultation with the Executive Director for Environment &
Communities and the Cabinet Member for Communities, has approved
the allocation of £260,865 to meet the 2024/25 in-year
operational costs of Charing Cross Library mini-hub and Victoria
Library mini-hub.
 
Reasons for
Decision
 
Delivering the mini-hubs was approved by the Community Hubs
Spotlight Leadership Group in February 2024, after the conclusion
of the 2024/25 budget process. The Charing Cross and Victoria
Library mini-hubs will pilot the
community hubs concept and explore opportunities for delivering
hubs from Libraries. This will shape the wider Community Hubs
programme and Libraries transformation agenda, and respond to the
needs of local communities in central and south Westminster
