Where does the money come from?
The budget for PB projects can be derived from a wide range of sources. It might be a % of a council’s main revenue budget, set aside for investment prioritisation; all or part of a delegated ward councillor’s budget; funding provided by other public service organisations, such as the Police or Fire and Rescue Service; a parish or town council’s precept; specific pots of central government money intended for investment in communities (such as the Community Infrastructure Levy); even the private sector. In short, anywhere and remember that the willingness of one budget holder can often be used to leverage match funding from others. There is much more about this in the “resources” section of this website.
