Resident’s Suggestion Form Guidance
Purpose
The purpose of the form is for ward residents to put forward proposed projects, to be
funded through the Community Ward Forum (CWF) annual budget, which benefit
local people and help to improve the area. The projects will need to meet local
priorities which have been identified by ward councillors in consultation with local
residents including through the CWF. All initial proposals for funded projects should
be put forward by ward residents or councillors. The projects are either to be
delivered by local residents themselves or in partnership with the Council or its
partners (e.g. Police, Health Services or Ascham Homes). Voluntary organisations
are not able to bid for CWF funding directly. However, they may receive funding if
they are identified as the organisation best placed to deliver the project.
Completing the form
Suggestion category
You need to decide how you think the project should be delivered.
Council delivered project
Where you indicate the project is to be delivered via one of the Council’s own
services, this will often within the remit of the Public Realm department. However,
this may also be delivered by one of the Council’s partners. You and other local
residents will be expected to work with Council officers in the development and
delivery of the project.
Resident led project up to £300
If the project is to be delivered by a group of local residents who are not a formal
organisation, these projects can be funded up to the value of £300. This will be
based on a signed agreement with the Council setting out what will be delivered.
Funding will be on a “cost recovery” basis meaning that payment will be made on the
production of receipts for expenditure after the project has been completed.
Voluntary and community sector led project
If a local voluntary, community or other not-for-profit organisation is best placed to
deliver the project proposal, you may make a suggestion as to which organisation
would be best placed to do this. However, please note that this may need to be
advertised to allow other local voluntary organisations to have an opportunity to bid

to deliver the project as well. The Community Development Team will evaluate
these bids to determine which organisation has submitted the most cost effective bid.
Successful voluntary organisations need to complete a Project Assessment Form,
which will be evaluated to determine their viability to effectively deliver the project.
