Decision details

The current sustainable community strategy has been in place since 2009 and has never been revised.  Chichester in Partnership in December 2015 agreed to do a “light touch” review of the document which has been completed and they are asking for the Council to adopt this revised strategy.

(Recommendation to Council)

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL

(1)  That the Community Strategy 2016-21 be adopted.

(2)  That a £10k funding reserve be made available, to be managed by the Cabinet Member for Communities and the Head of Community Services as the Council’s representatives to Chichester in Partnership, in order to attract match funding to support new or existing projects with proven benefits to vulnerable residents that would otherwise fail for lack of short term funding.
