A representative of the Director of Place Management submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing details relating to the launch of two new Climate Action Now (CAN) Funds; the CAN Seed Fund and the CAN Catalyst Fund.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:

·         Members suggested that community posters should be used to advertise the CAN fund locally;

·         Members requested that previous recipients of Ward Flexibility Funding (those applicants who applied to Werneth Area Committee only) be contacted to make them aware of the CAN fund;

·         Members commented that they were pleased that the funding was being dealt with within communities rather than the decisions being made outside of them.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
