GM1129 - Allotment Society Expenses - 200126

GM1128 - Advertising Grant Funds - 150126

A member council currently has a grant fund available for constituted, not-for-profit local community groups and organisations to support tree planting projects.
 The council would welcome insight from other local authorities on how similar grant schemes have been advertised and promoted, and which approaches have proven most effective in engaging community groups and driving take-up. 

GM1127 - Software for Faults and Playground Inspections - 090126

The council would like to enquire what software packages other local authorities use to record faults, including the ability to photograph and log defects. In addition, it would be helpful to understand which software systems are used specifically for playground inspections and maintenance.
 The council is also interested in knowing whether any authorities use a single system that can manage both general fault reporting and playground inspection/asset management, and, if so, which products are in use and how they are performing in practice.
