Community Chest Grants
Additional documents: Decision: The Leader AGREED the following grants:
Minutes: The Sustainable Communities and Partnerships Manager presented this report, which invited the Leader to consider applications for Community Chest Grants for 2015/16. The Leader announced that there had been agreement between himself, the Finance and Staffing Portfolio Holder and the Executive Director to vire an extra £10,000 to this grant scheme from the Business Efficiency Reserve.
Grants to Milton The Leader noted that the Council’s policies restricted each parish to a maximum of five Community Chest grants for the year and Milton had already received four grants for 2015/16. The Leader suggested that as Milton Country Park clearly benefitted many people from outside the parish of Milton one extra grant should be permitted. All councillors present agreed with this approach.
Cambridge Sports Lake Trust (Milton Country Park) – redecking a pedestrian bridge The Leader noted that the bridge was an access route for cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles. The application met the criteria and had the support of both local members. The Leader awarded a grant of £1,500.
Cambridge Sports Lake Trust (Milton Country Park) – to help facilitate all-ability biking The Leader noted that part of the application was for £348 of advertising, which did not meet the scheme’s criteria. The Leader noted that the application had the support of the local member and the request for adaptive equipment met the scheme’s criteria. The Leader awarded a grant of £567, which was £348 less than the amount requested.
Cambridge Junior Cycling Club (Milton Country Park) – storage shed The Leader noted that this application had been received after the other two Milton applications and he considered that as the parish of Milton had already received one more than the maximum of five community chest grants a year, this request for a grant should be rejected.
Robinson Hall – Chairs The Leader noted that the application met the scheme’s criteria and had the support of both local members and the County Councillor. The Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,191.
Bassingbourn Cricket Club – pitch refurbishment The Leader noted that Bassingbourn Cricket Club had a large membership and the grant had the support of the local member. The application met the scheme’s criteria and the Leader agreed to award a grant of £640.
Eltisley Parish Council – speed warning sign The Leader noted that this application did not have the support of the local member. The Leader suggested that other funding streams were available for this application and that traffic control was a County Council function. The Leader rejected this application.
Eltisley Cricket Club – new roller The Leader noted that this application met the scheme’s criteria and had the support of the local member. The Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,500.
St Peter’s Church – Improving facilities – disabled toilet The Leader noted that this application met the scheme’s criteria and St Peter’s Church was used by the wider community. The Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,500.
