Issue - meetings

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. Eastwood Town Council had requested a grant of up to £1,722 towards the cost of security, first aid and traffic management for its Remembrance Sunday Event, and a request of up to £993 representing up to 50% of the cost of restoration of the ‘Cadets Cross’ memorial.

RESOLVED that the grant requests to Eastwood Town Council of £1,722 and £993 be approved.

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.
