How we make a decision
The processing of applications can take up to 12 weeks. Council officers will email you questions about your project and then submit your answers and proposal to ward councillors who decide on whether your application is processed as successful.
For a ward to approve an application, at least two councillors must agree to fund an application, and they may ask questions to make an informed decision.
If one or more councillors oppose the application, it will be closed.
A council officer will email you to confirm if your application has been successful, and to arrange payment of the grant.
