Decision details

The Royal British Legion Social Club, Beeston had requested a capital grant of up to £6,000 to enable the completion of its refurbishment project in order to bring the premises systems up to current fire and safety standards. Members stated that the Royal British Legion Social Club had played an essential role in supporting Broxtowe’s veterans for over 70 years and was an important venue in the Borough.

RESOLVED that the grant funding request of £6,000 for The Royal British Legion (Beeston) Social Club be approved.

Reason

Consideration of not approving the grant would have negative financial implications for the Royal British Legion Social Club and the building would not have been safe for community use.
