Walsall Council has submitted its first stage proposals to government to stake its claim for the £50million available, as part of the government’s Town Deal Fund. 

Walsall Council is launching an exciting new online crowdfunding platform that enables residents to raise money to improve their neighbourhoods.

At the upcoming virtual meeting on 10 February, Cabinet is to consider the implementation of a revised High Needs Funding Model for children with additional needs.

The model, which aims to provide a fair, needs-led and child-centred approach, will be used to allocate high needs funding for children with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). If approved the approach will be implemented from 1 April 2021.
