To consider requests for grant assistance in accordance with the protocol for the consideration of grant aid to Parish and Town Councils.

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 £2,290 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Parade, a request was made from Kimberley Town Council of up to £2,059 towards the cost of traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Parade and a request from Eastwood Town Council for £2,250 towards the cost of cleaning two War Memorials in advance of the Annual Remembrance Service.

RESOLVED that the grants requests be approved accordingly:

1.          Nuthall Parish Council – £2,290

2.          Kimberley Town Council – £2,059

3.          Eastwood Town Council - £2,250

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.
