Issue - meetings

Members considered a report on proposed operational arrangements for the delivery of the Community Care Grants and Crisis Loans service. The principal of this service (to be re titled Essential Living Fund) being delivered by the District Council rather than Worcestershire County Council had previously been agreed by this Authority. Funding for this purpose would be transferred from the County Council.

The Cabinet felt that the District Council would be better able to respond to local needs but that there would need to be a review of the new arrangements when they were in operation so any necessary amendments could be made in a timely manner.

RESOLVED  that the details of the operation of the proposed Essential Living Fund, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, be approved.
