Notice under The Local Authorities
(Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information)
(England) Regulations 2012
On the 9 November 2021 the County Council intends to hold a meeting of the Lead Member for Adult Social Care and Health at which the following item will be considered: Household Support Fund - Voluntary, Community Social Enterprise (VCSE) and place-based options.
The purpose of the item is:
For the Lead Member to make a
decision as to the scheme the Council will implement to distribute
the Household Support Grant with regard to families and other types
of households, including individuals at risk of food and fuel
poverty.
Under the requirements of Regulation 9 of The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 the Council is required to give 28 days’ notice of a key decision identified within the scope of these regulations. It is considered that item referred to above would be a key decision and for the reasons of urgency outlined below, compliance is considered impracticable, and an exception to Regulation 9 is therefore sought under Regulation 10 of the above Regulations. It is considered impracticable to comply with the requirements of The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 because: a decision is needed to allow for the timely distribution of funding to Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises and Districts and Boroughs.
Accordingly a copy of this notice shall be available pursuant to Regulation 5(6) for at least 5 clear days prior to 9 Nov 2021.
