Fighting Fund information

Wednesday 5 November 2003

Decisions on resourcing for enforcement activity are a matter for local authorities, however, it is acknowledged that some local authorities have to deal with cases with unexpected resource implications.

The Agency has agreed a process developed through its Enforcement Liaison Group which sets out criteria for local authorities who wish to apply for Agency support for their enforcement work and for the Agency to consider such applications.

Decisions on the nature and extent of Agency financial support will be made on a case by case basis and will take account of the limited Agency resources available. The attached documents give more guidance about the process for local authorities and includes an application form for local authorities to use.
