MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

That the Manager reports on the current status of all Tidy Town groups in the RTFB LEA, specifically in relation to governance, funding provided over the past five years and accounts filed in relation to same.

REPORT:

SDCC is currently processing grant applications for the current year (2021) relating to Tidy Towns. As part of this process a request for a detailed outline of the local committee structure (and governance arrangements in place),  has been requested from all applicants prior to decision stage on grant allocations. SDCC has also sought a detailed breakdown of costs and proposed spending associated with all funding requests. Where this has been supplied grants are being processed in November. We envisage groups that provide full information will also receive funding by year end. 

Current Status for RFTB applications: Woodstown Tidy Towns t/a Woodstown Village Resident’s Association has supplied a compliant application and has been awarded €7,000 in funding for 2021 which will be processed in Nov 2021. 

A full summary report on Tidy Towns funding allocated in 2021 will be available in January 2022.
