Decision details

The reasons for the decision are:

The below funding to be made available to CSPs for the next three years, subject to current levels of funding made to GMCA. The grants are committed annually at the Police and Crime Panel that takes place as part of the Police Precept setting process.

The payments to district CSPs will be covered by a grant agreement which sets out the purpose of the grant and conditions of spend. The grant agreement states that payments are made in advance and governance of the spend is delegated to the district CSP.

The advance payment and local governance recognises the increasing demands on districts and the desire to reduce bureaucracy where local governance processes already exist.

The decision is that:

The Community Safety grants and amounts as set out below be paid to each of the community safety partnerships as an advance payment in each financial year:

• Community Safety Grant
• Voluntary and Community Sector Grant
• Hate Crime Grant

These payments set out are below are dependent upon:

• Receipt of financial monitoring reports in each year with no unallocated underspends exceeding £15,000 in total.

• District Community Safety Partnership approval of the grant agreement in each year.

• Confirmation of the approval of the spending proposals by the district Community Safety Partnership as part of the local governance process, with quarterly updates, thereafter, shared with the GMCA and a financial report be provided to GMCA in February of each year with actual spend to January and projected spend to March of that financial year.
