Purpose:

To set out the implications of the phasing out of the Communities First programme in Flintshire and the main priorities for the programme in its final year of operation.

Decisions:

Councillor Butler presented the Communities First report which set out the implications of the process in Flintshire and the main priorities for the programme in its final year of operation.

           

RESOLVED:

 

(a)       That the impact of the Welsh Government announcements on the Communities First programme in Flintshire be noted and the proposed programme of activity for 2017/18 be supported; and

 

(b)       That delegated authority be given to the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and the Chief Officer (Community and Enterprise) to develop and implement a new staffing structure for the Communities First programme to meet the new funding allocation and the new priorities.  This exceptional request is due to the short period given by Welsh Government between the announcement of funding and the financial year end.
