Further to minute 14 (28/9/16), the Constituency Manager introduced a report which set out details of proposals by elected members for spend from the devolved community budget, which, following the last meeting had £7,000 remaining.

Three proposals had been put forward in respect of Leasowe and Moreton East and Liscard wards at a total cost of £2,414.06.

During the course of discussion on this item the Chair declared a personal interest in the proposal put forward for Liscard ward as a resident of one of the avenues to which a request for a staggered barrier at the end of the avenue had been made.

With regard to the underspend on this budget, the Constituency Manager stated that as and when issues arose in Members’ wards proposals could be costed.
