Agenda item

To consider the report of the Communications and Community Engagement Officer.

The Committee considered the report of the Communications and Community Engagement Officer regarding events, additional to the regular calendar, that the council may wish to support in 2022.

Members considered the list, and it was suggested and agreed that World Environment Day should be removed as it was not as specific or targeted as some of the other environmental days. In addition, it was agreed to remove Screen Free Week. It was further advised that a volunteering event was also proposed in conjunction with Volunteer Link Up.

In considering the financial implications it was resolved to request an increase in the budget to £3000 to cover costs.

Resolved:

1.       That, the list of additional events for 2022, as amended, be approved; and

2.       That, Council be recommended to approve an increase in the events budget to £3000 for 2022.
