Council is asked to consider early commitment to future funding
through a Countywide Funding Partnership, to enable tendering of a
new contract for three or more years.

RESOLVED
That the Cabinet delegates authority to the Director of Housing and Communities, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Community Services, to agree to the Inter Agency Agreement, the specification and signing of the contract, and delegates the annual monitoring of performance to the Grants and Concessions Panel.
