Decision details

Cabinet considered requests for grant assistance within the protocol for the consideration of grant aid to Parish and Town Councils. Nuthall Parish Council had requested a grant of up to £2,350 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Parade, two requests were made from Kimberley Town Council of up to £1,996 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Event and £1,500 towards the cost of traffic management and security for its Christmas Market, and a request from Stapleford Town Council for £2,505 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Event.

RESOLVED that the grants requests be approved accordingly:

1.          Kimberley Town Council – £1,996 and £1,500

2.          Stapleford Town Council – £2,505

3.          Nuthall Parish Council – £2,350

Reason

Consideration was given in respect of awarding grants. As part of the Protocol, Grant Aid would only be given in support of specific projects or services and not as a general grant towards the services provided by a Parish/Town Council. There was no budgetary provision for Capital grants to Parish Councils. The grant aid requests were in line with the current Corporate Plan aims for supporting people to live well and provide a safe place for everyone.
