Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Having considered an officer report, and a presentation by the Mayor, and the
Chair of the Safer, Stronger Communities Select Committee, the Mayor and
Cabinet agreed that:
(1) the progress on agreeing the ward based priorities for the NCIL
programme be noted;
(2) the process through which the borough-wide priorities have been
developed be noted; and
(3) In regard to the allocation of the Borough-wide NCIL funding:
£100,000 be allocated to the development of Council borough-wide Air Quality
initiatives that promote community involvement;
an open call for projects is run alongside the ward based process with the
following priorities:
initiatives that seek to support local community groups to contributing to
tackling crime and anti-social behaviour
provision of high-quality mentoring services and those designed to keep
Lewisham’s children and young people safe from exploitation, violence and
serious youth crime
support for people with learning disabilities and/or issues with mental health to
find employment opportunities in order to identify projects for which the
remainder of the fund may be allocated
such funding should support services that are borough-wide, as far as
possible, but also provide extra focus on the most deprived wards in the
borough as defined by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation.
