RESOLVED THAT

1.    the strategic priorities for town centre security as set out in section 2.1 of this report be endorsed;

2.    the offer of £15k per annum grant funding from the Cheltenham Business Improvement District (BID) be accepted to support a more intensive programme of security-related activities in the town centre over the next two years;

3.    the use of an additional £50k per annum in each of the next two years be approved from resources secured from efficiencies generated within the enforcement team, as an indirect result of additional HMO licensing fee income in 2018-19, to underpin additional staffing for town centre support activities as set out in Appendix 2.
