Decision details

Cabinet considered requests for grant assistance within the protocol for the consideration of grant aid to Parish and Town Councils. Stapleford Town Council had requested a grant of up to £2,405 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Parade.

RESOLVED that the grant request from Stapleford Town Council for £2,405 be approved.

Reason

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.

(Councillors R E Bofinger and J W McGrath, having declared an other-registerable interests in the item left the room prior to discussion or voting thereon.)
