2) Reasons for the decision:

2.1 To secure the support and involvement of the community and voluntary sector in the provision of environmental services, in accordance with the guidance in the One Compact for Hampshire.

3) Other options considered and rejected:

    3.1. Option 1:

Not to provide an Environmental Service Provider Grant Programme.
