REFERENCE FROM HERITAGE, CULTURE AND LEISURE COMMITTEE

 

REQUEST FOR MONIES FROM THE HCL UNDER SPEND TO FUND A SERIES OF REVIEWS

At the meeting of Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee on 5th June 2018, the Committee considered the Fourth Quarter Budget Monitoring 2017/18 report.  The Committee was advised that there was an overall under spend on the HCL budget 2017/18 of £125,398.

As part of the Committee’s future work programme they undertook to review a number of areas under their responsibility which would include the Arts, Sports, Accessibility and a Fundraising Strategy.  It was felt that these reviews could be funded by utilising some of the Committee’s under spend of up to £75,000.

RECOMMENDED:  That the Policy and Resources Committee approve the allocation of up to £75,000 from the under spend arising out of the Heritage, Culture and Leisure Committee’s budget for 2017/18.
