Purpose

Under the Local Member Grants Scheme, each
county councillor has a specific budget which they can spend to
enhance the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of people
who live in their division.

Monitoring of the money awarded under the Local Member Grants
Scheme is conducted by Democratic Services. This is an annual
report to the Audit, Risk and Governance Committee on the outcomes
of that monitoring activity, in line with the committee's
responsibility for oversight of the county council's governance and
risk management.

This annual report covers the period April 2022 to September
2023.
