Slippage/Variations/Reason for Withdrawal: Decision on grant awards for voluntary organisations moved from 29 January to 19 February. The council is trialling a new grants process and officers have requested more time to consider the applications before making recommendations. Consequently, the Cabinet decision has been moved to 19 February to ensure applicants have time to consider their recommendation and provide feedback before the decision.
