Issue - meetings

To consider requests for grant assistance in accordance with the protocol for the consideration of grant aid to parish and town councils.

Members considered a request from Kimberley Town Council for a grant of up to £2,773 towards the cost of traffic management, crowd management and first aid provision for the Kimberley Food Festival and a request from Nuthall Parish Council for up to £8,535 to replace the children’s slide at the Basil Russell Park in Nuthall.

RESOLVED that:

1.       The grant aid request from Kimberley Town Council of up to £2,733 be approved.

2.       The grant aid request from Nuthall Parish Council of up to £8,535 be approved.

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.
