To determine the award of Community Transport Grants to voluntary and community organisations which meet the criteria outlined in the Community Grants Policy approved by Cheshire East Council.

Cheshire East Council had received various applications for community transport grants to be considered in line with the Council’s Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants. Each grant application was outlined in the report, as was the reason for the recommendation in respect of that application.

All of the proposed grants could be funded from within existing budgets approved as part of the Council’s Budget for 2012/13.

The aim of the grants was to assist in the establishment of, or continuation of, community transport schemes within Cheshire East Council communities.

A sum of £12,000 grant funding and four vehicles remained to be carried forward to the next financial year. A competitive bidding exercise would be undertaken within the next 6-8 weeks.

RESOLVED

That the Community Transport Grants listed in the Appendix be awarded or declined as indicated.
