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 up to £2,458 towards the cost of its Remembrance Sunday Event and up to £323 towards the cost for specialist cleaning of the memorial and surrounding stone areas on Plumptre Way.
RESOLVED that the grant aid requests from Eastwood Town Council for up to £2,458 for its Remembrance Sunday Event 2026 and for up to £323 for repairs to soldiers’ names on the memorial on Plumptre Way, Eastwood.
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.
