Reasons for the decision:

Grants are awarded on a first come first served basis and there is sufficient funding remaining in the budget.  All applications were considered in detail by the Grants Advisory Committee.  An error resulted in a lesser than requested amount being considered by Grants Advisory Committee for Milton Community Centre.

Alternative options considered:

To reject or vary the recommendations of the Grants Advisory Committee and make a decision regarding the level of funding (£0 - £3,000) to be awarded for each or defer a decision if further information is required from grant applicants.
