Grants Advisory Committee (GAC) met on the Friday 28 May 2021 to recommend to the Lead Cabinet Member for Finance that Gamlingay Guardians Community Warden Scheme be permitted to alter their service delivery model, including the fees charged, in order to attract clients to the scheme. As a result of the assistance provided to vulnerable residents during the Covid pandemic, which itself has been positive, no one has wanted to sign up to a paid service. It is felt that a change in the model would help resolve this problem.
Such a change would also negate the need for additional grant
funding from Oct 2022 to March 2024.
Consequently, any remaining unspent Mobile Warden Scheme funding
could be included in the sum previously allocated across the 3
years of the next round of Service Support Grants (2022-25) (a
decision made at the 30 April 2021 meeting of Grants Advisory
Committee).
Decision type: Non-key
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Wards affected: (All Wards);
Notice of proposed decision first published: 28/05/2021
Decision due: 28 May 2021 by Lead Cabinet member for Resources
Lead member: Lead Cabinet member for Resources
