Agenda item

The Panel considered a report of the Police and Crime Commissioner which provided an update of funding decisions taken at the Commissioning Boards in July and August 2021 (for copy see file of Minutes).

Following a question from Councillor Dulston, the Head of Governance and Finance explained that the commissioning process was fundamental to the fair distribution of public money and funding.

The PCC added that as a new PCC she was looking at how funding could be distributed fairly to deliver the priorities identified in the Plan. In Durham this was being explored through the Area Action Partnerships, similarly in Darlington, through the Darlington Partnership.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
