Decision Maker: Cabinet
Outcome:
Is Key Decision?: No
Is Callable In?: No
Purpose: To consider requests for grant assistance in accordance with the protocol for the consideration of grant aid to parish and town councils.
Content: Cabinet considered the request 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 £4,149 towards the cost of security, first aid, hire of stage and sound equipment for the ‘Bloomin Marvellous’ Festival 2025. RESOLVED that grant aid assistance of £4,149 be awarded to Eastwood Town Council. Reason 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 request was in line with the current Corporate Plan aims for supporting people to live well and provide a safe place for everyone. (Having declared an other-registerable interest Councillor M Radulovic MBE, left the meeting before discussion or voting thereon. Councillor G Marshall took the Chair for the item.)
