Members had indicated that they would like to see additional community events for 2015/16, with a particular emphasis on the local heritage and cultural background of Brentwood.

It was therefore proposed to run a series of events under one branded umbrella which would include a number of events engaging local schools, arts and heritage organisations to look at bringing local history and heritage alive through intergenerational projects to engage the whole community and a proposed Community Events programme for 2015/16 was before Members.

Cllr Chilvers MOVED and Cllr Parker SECONDED an amendment to the recommendation and it was RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that:

1.  Members agree in principle to review the resources required to deliver the Community Events programme for 2015/16 as listed in Appendix A to the agenda (subject to final approval through the budget setting process).
