Issue - meetings

To consider whether the Board wishes to support any applications for Performance Reward Grant funding.

To receive feedback on previous bids supported by the Area Board.

Steve Milton, Head of Community Governance, introduced the following two applications for Performance Reward Grant funding, commenting that they were not presented for determination by the Area Board, but rather sought approval for referral to the Performance Reward Grant Panel, who would make a final decision.

(a)           Wiltshire Voices

This was a County-wide project to support Area Boards in engaging with hard-to-reach elements of society.  Each Area Board would identify a different target group; in Pewsey this was proposed to be rural families on low incomes.

Decision

The Pewsey Area Board supported the bid for Wiltshire Voices to go forward for consideration by the Performance Reward Grant Panel.

(b)          Wiltshire is Saving Energy (WiSE)

This bid was another county-wide project, to provide energy monitors which could be hired for free from libraries, to allow users to see clearly how much energy their appliances used and how their behaviour impacted on their energy use.

Decision

The Pewsey Area Board supported the bid for WiSE to go forward for consideration by the Performance Reward Grant Panel.
