Issue - meetings

The Head of Service – Customers and Communities presented the report on the Update on Exeter Community Lottery first year of operation.  The Chair requested that the report be taken as read and moved to questions.

The Head of Service responded to Members’ questions making the following points:

·         the lottery provider had given a best practice guide which covered promotion;

·         it would be possible to share a list of all 47 organisations involved;

·         an authority which was 30% larger had raised only 20% more;

·         that he would investigate the difference between amount raised for good causes per pound in the original report and the update provided which had reduced from 60p in every £1 to 52p;

·         more detail could be given on revenue and expenditure in future.

The Head of Service, Monitoring Officer and Portfolio Holder for Climate, Ecological Change and Communities agreed to investigate, outside the meeting, the difference in percentage given to good causes as reported.

The Customer Focus Scrutiny Committee noted the report on the Update on Exeter Community Lottery first year of operation.
