The formulation of the CAP will give the Committee the opportunity to draw attention to issues in Swinton which Members feel are too large a scale to be funded under the Devolved Budget and should , instead , be met from the Council's overall budget . At the time of agenda preparation the arrangements for consultation on the budget for 2006/07 have not been finalised . It is likely , however, that each Member will receive an individual questionnaire on the subject . There will be also a number of public meetings on the subject ; one is provisonally scheduled for 6pm on 26th October , 2005 , at the Salford Civic Centre. |
