MEMBERS of Shipley Area Committee will discuss how it has divided a funding pot between four community centres in the area when they meet again next week.
In November, the area committee had to decide how to allocate a reduced grant of £68,000, to fund community development workers.
The Tory-dominated committee opted to give £20,000 each to Baildon Community Link and Kirkgate Community Centre, Shipley, while community associations in Bolton Woods and North East Windhill were to share £28,000 between them.
But Labour councillors from Windhill and Wrose, who had wanted the cash split equally, called in the decision for scrutiny, on the grounds that there hadn’t been a proper debate.
The decision will take place at the area committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, at 6pm in Shipley Town Hall.
