The next meeting of the Acocks Green Ward Committee takes place this Wednesday at Severne Junior & Infants School. The meeting starts at 7pm. The one substantive item on the agenda is the approval of the spending of the vast majority of the balance of the Ward’s community chest funds, with the following projects being put forward by the Ward Advisory Board:

• £5,000 for books for Acocks Green Library
• £5,139 for an Anti-Graffiti scheme for the Fox Hollies shopping area
• £280 for the Westley Vale Millennium Trust
• £250 for the 260th Scouts Group
• £2,500 for a Burglary Lock Fitting Service
• £4,500 extra for Security Gating work.

If all these schemes are approved this will leave £2,393 available for further projects this financial year.
