Content: To consider submissions to the third round of Westhive Crowdfund, and to determine which projects the Council may pledge towards. Resolved: That the Chief Executive agreed to allocate funding to the Westhive projects outlined in 2.11 of the report, as recommended by the Westhive Pledge Review Group. When arriving at the recommendations officers sought to prioritise projects based on the following factors: · Relevance to Council aims. · Benefit of the project. · Number of pledges. · Relation to other projects. · Value for money/potential impact. The Chief Executive could decide not to fund at the levels recommended above and instead refer the matter for further consultation with the Executive. This would necessitate a further review group meeting and delay determinations.
