To agree that the Council explores further the
possibility of adopting a Community Lottery Scheme following the
presentation to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 20 January
2020.
Decision Maker: Executive
Made at meeting: 06/02/2020 - Executive
Decision published: 26/02/2020
Effective from: 15/02/2020
Decision:
The Executive received a report which set out a recommendation from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee asking the Executive to support the proposal to seek the introduction of a community lottery scheme for the Borough of Woking through an External Lottery Manager (ELM). Councillor Hughes, Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, reported that the Committee had received an interesting presentation by Gatherwell, an ELM, which had answered the Committee’s questions. It was noted that the cost to the Council was relatively small and that the contract period was a minimum of one year. The need to consult with local charities was highlighted.
The Executive agreed that the Council should explore the proposal further and that a proposals report be brought back to a future meeting of the Executive.
RESOLVEd
That in accordance with the findings of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, the Council explores further the possibility of adopting a Community Lottery Scheme and that a proposals report be brought back to a future meeting of the Executive.
Reason: To create a new revenue stream for local community organisations.

To consider the Performance and Financial
Monitoring Information contained in the Green Book.
Decision Maker: Executive
Made at meeting: 06/02/2020 - Executive
Decision published: 26/02/2020
Effective from: 15/02/2020
Decision:
The Executive considered the Performance and Financial Monitoring Information (Green Book) December 2019. Discussion ensured on the waste sent for recycling figures on page 10 of the Green Book. Councillor Davis, Portfolio Holder for Waste and Recycling, advised that some recycling had been refused at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) due to contamination and had been sent instead to landfill. It was commented that making residents aware of what could and could not be recycled needed to be a constant campaign and that the Surrey Environmental Partnership was looking at the issue. It was suggested that recycling targets in the Green Book could need to be adjusted in light of changing recycling habits.
Following a question regarding fly tipping, the Executive was advised that it was not possible to quantify the amount spent on fly tipping because the work and resources to obtain evidence to prosecute cut across many agencies.
RESOLVED
That the Performance and Financial Monitoring Information, December 2019, be received.
Reason: To manage the performance of the Council.
