After consideration of these applications, the Committee recommended to the Lead Cabinet Member for Finance that:

 

1.     Elsworth Pre School (RBDFZGRD) be approved and funded at the full amount requested of £969

2.     Fowlmere Recreation Ground & Village Hall (RTHKLVCF) be approved and funded at the full amount requested of £2,000 provided the additional information detailed below is provided

3.     Cambourne Church (JBCXXSBXW) is not funded, but deferred as detailed below.

4.     Duxford Community Centre Events (CZRJMKCW) be approved and funded at the full amount requested of £528

5.     Cambourne Lawn Tennis Club (JDXKRFFC) is not funded, as detailed below.

Decision:

To accept the recommendations of the Grants Advisory Committee (see above).

Reasons for the decision:

The applications were considered in detail by the Grants Advisory Committee and there is sufficient budget available.

Alternative options considered:

To reject or vary the recommendations of the Grants Advisory Committee and decide on the level of funding (£0 - £2,000) to be awarded for each or defer a decision if further information is required from grant applicants.

 

As per above, the application from Cambourne Church (JBCXXSBXW) requesting £2,000 has been deferred, pending details on whether an electric oven can be considered as an alternative to a gas oven which uses fossil fuels.

 

As per above, the application from Cambourne Lawn Tennis Club (JDXKRFFC) is not funded as the tennis club is owned by the Town Council.
