Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Strategic Communities considered the award of Community Grants to voluntary and community organisations. Applications had been made in this the first round of grants for 2013/14 and were recommended to be awarded, declined or deferred following an assessment against previously approved criteria.

In each case the report detailed the total cost of each project, the amount of grant requested and the recommended award along with certain other notes of explanation. It was noted that the demand for grants had been exceptionally high and the grants awarded had to reflect the number being considered. In considering the grant application from F.A.R.U.P the Cabinet Member agreed that there would be difficulties if the grant was not approved in this round of applications; he agreed, therefore, that approval be given to the full amount requested bearing in mind that the balance of the award would not be paid until the repainting work had been completed.

RESOLVED

That the Community Grants be awarded, declined or deferred, as indicated in the report, with the exception of that for F.A.R.U.P which was to be increased to £1095 this being the full amount requested.
