| C/24/4/4 | Public Participation:
A period not exceeding 15 minutes for members of the public to ask questions or submit comments that relate to the items within the agenda. A member of the public submitted a question in advance of the meeting as follows: Question from a member of the public: In November 2022, £2,000 was given to the Nantwich Road Action Group to buy Christmas trees to put over shop fronts. This resulted in four trees being installed a few days before Christmas 2024.Does the Committee think their funding was well spent? The council, through this committee, supports numerous volunteer groups, which are providing a broad range of services and activities for the benefit of Crewe. This funding, supporting volunteers in the community, enables the community to be directly involved in and lead the delivery of services and improvements in Crewe on an ongoing basis. The majority of the expenditure was spent on mounts for the trees. Members considered the expenditure to be good value as the trees are pr-lit and re-usable and will last many years. |
