Community Chest Grants 2015/16 PDF 138 KB Additional documents: Decision:
Minutes: The Sustainable Communities and Partnerships Manager presented this report, which invited the Leader to consider applications for Community Chest Grants for 2015/16. It was understood that the comments from local councillors would be reported at the meeting.
Arrington Parish Council – new picnic tables and benches Councillor Bridget Smith, as local member for Arrington, expressed her support for this application as Arrington was a small village with no other obvious meeting point apart from the local pub. The Leader expressed his support for this grant.
A Chain of Wildflowers – paying for facilitators The Leader explained that he could not support this application, as it was for revenue expenditure and so did not meet the scheme’s criteria. It was noted that both local members, Councillors Val Barrett and Jose Hales, were supportive of the application and it was hoped that another grant scheme could fund the project.
The George Long Charity for Swavesey Memorial Hall – new front door It was noted the local member, Councillor Sue Ellington, supported this application. The Leader expressed his support for this project, which met the criteria.

Reboot Cambridge Community Interest Company – IT equipment The Sustainable Communities and Partnerships Manager explained that units 1-10 were to be demolished and as the above organisation resided at 9a it would presumably need to secure a new site. The Leader stated that he fully supported this application on principle, but wanted assurance that the company had a secure location before awarding any funding.
Arrington Parish Council – notice boards Councillor Bridget Smith, local member, explained that the notice boards were required in a village with poor internet access and an elderly population. The Leader supported the application, which met the criteria.
Dry Drayton Village Hall Management Committee – car park repair Councillor Bunty Waters, local member, and Councillor Lynda Harford, local County Councillor, both supported the proposed car park refurbishment. The Leader supported the application, which met the criteria.
Wilbrahams’ Memorial Hall & Recreational Ground Trustees – hall repair The Sustainable Communities and Partnerships Manager explained that this project had been delayed in the past resulting in grant money having to be returned. However, it ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |
