Decision details

Cabinet considered requests for grant aid in accordance with the provisions of the Council’s Grant Aid Policy. On consideration of a potential grant to Toton Coronation Hall Community Association, concern was raised over whether there were sufficient activities being provided for the residents of Broxtowe. It was agreed that further consideration of the request was necessary prior to the grant being awarded.

RESOLVED that:

1.     The grant of £4,529 to the Dig-In Community Allotment be approved.

2.     The grant of £7,000 to the Toton Coronation Hall Community Association be awarded subject a satisfactory review of the Service Level Agreement by the Leader and Ward Members, and a further review by the Overview & Scrutiny Committee as necessary.

Reason

The Council is empowered to make grants to voluntary organisations by virtue of Section 48 Local Government Act 1985 (as well as other Legislation). Having an approved process in accordance with legislation and the Council’s Grant Aid Policy would ensure the Council’s compliance with its legal duties.
