The MOPAC update report was provided by Rob Vale (Trading Standards Manager). The aim of the report was to update the Committee concerning the Local Crime Prevention Fund which was administered by MOPAC.

Members noted the following MOPAC approved projects and budget allocations for the period 2019 to 2021.

·  Total for VAWG was £411,680

·  Total for ECHS was £492,880

·  Total for ECS was £141, 400

A Member referred to section 7.1 of the report, dealing with personnel implications. She expressed concern that the reduction in the LCPF grant could mean that funding would not be available to fund the Out of Hours Noise Service and the ASB Coordinator post. Mr Vale stated that although there was a slight deficit in the grant funding, LBB would bridge the funding gap and the posts would continue to be funded over the next two years.

A Member raised a query concerning some of the budget figures, and Mr Vale said that he would investigate this and report back to the Committee.

RESOLVED that the report is noted and that Mr Vale report back on the budget query raised by a Member.
