The Neighbourhood Committee RESOLVED:
(i) that the Recommendation to set up a working group to produce a report for the September Neighbourhood Partnership on the options for using Neighbourhood Partnership Budget to employ a Fundraiser be approved; and in addition that the Neighbourhood Partnership Cordinator should formally approach Avonmouth and Kingsweston and Horfield and Lockleaze with a view to progressing this to a detailed proposal for a decision in September 2016.
Action: Keith Houghton
(ii) That the Neighbourhood Partnership hold a further Governance and Neighbourhood Partnership development event which could include consideration of allocation of other Neighbourhood Partnership budgets be approved.
