Based on responses to this question, it is clear that the community want to see local residents as the main group on the CBF panel. The next two groups that stand out as having been selected by more respondents were Young People (16-18) with 50.3% and Parish Councillors with 46.5%.
As the top three groups are clearly defined, this will influence our formation of the CBF management panel.Answered: 425 Skipped: 7

Q6: Who do you think should be able to apply for funding from the CBF?Respondents selected a wide range of answers to this question, but it is apparent from this and question 5 that people wish to keep the CBF within the local community, rather than distributing it further afield.
These results will feed into the parameters that will define what the CBF can be spent on.Answered: 429 Skipped: 3
