A proposal was presented to Cabinet for a review of the existing funding arrangements dedicated to parish/town council concurrent functions.

Concurrent functions were services which could be carried out by the Borough Council but were also within the statutory remit of a parish or town council. The services were discretionary and there was at present no comprehensive and definitive list of such services.

b)         That Cabinet supports a review of existing arrangements for concurrent funding of parish/town councils and requests that the Transformation & Resources Overview and Scrutiny Committee undertake such a review in order to report back to Cabinet in time for implementation of a revised scheme for 2015/16.
