Transport Grant Scheme - Large Grant Business Plans To consider grant business plans from Poynton Town Council for a minibus service and a shopmobility scheme. Minutes: At the Cabinet Member for Environment meeting on 10 March 2014 the two applications from Poynton Town Council were deferred in order to allow further time for the preparation of the supporting business plans.
Poynton Town Council was proposing to use two surplus Council vehicles allocated under the Vehicle Allocation Scheme to operate a minibus service in the Poynton LAP area. A detailed business plan had been developed with financial projections which identified income and expenditure over the first three years and demonstrated how the project would be sustained beyond the funding period. Further information had been provided since deferral, which had resulted in a more robust proposal. It was therefore recommended that £45,000 be awarded.
Poynton Town Council also proposed to establish a Shopmobility scheme in the town, which would be located in the Co-operative Independent Living store. Following deferral on 10 March a more detailed business plan had been developed identifying expenditure and revenue streams (e.g. membership and equipment hire fees) to demonstrate how the project would be sustainable beyond the funding period. It was therefore recommended that £17,000 be awarded.
RESOLVED:
That approval be given to
the two large grant business plan awards as follows:
Ref No Organisation Recommendation TAG 13 Poynton Town Council – Minibus Service Award - £45,000 TAG 25 Poynton Town Council – Shopmobility Award - £17,500
