Minutes: The Sustainable Communities and Partnerships Manager presented this report, which invited the Leader to consider applications for Community Chest Grants for 2015/16. Comments from local councillors and youth councillors were reported at the meeting. Each application was considered in turn.
Over Baptist Church – new chairs This application had been deferred from the previous meeting, to ensure that the wider community had been consulted. The Project Officer explained that the application had been fully discussed at church meetings and the plans had been displayed on the village noticeboard without any dissent. The Leader decided to defer the matter to the Deputy Leader, as the church was in his ward. Post meeting note: the deputy leader agreed the application.
The Cygnets, Milton Pre-School – new chairs and tables The Leader noted that the application met the scheme’s criteria, the parish council were paying the other half of the costs of the project and that the application had the support of both local members. The Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,500.
Friends of Milton Country Park – marquee and folding tables The Leader noted that the application met the scheme’s criteria, a number of events were held at Milton Country Park and the application was supported by both local members. The Leader agreed to award a grant of £786.92.
Almshouse and Pension Charity of the Julia Norris Trust – refurbishment of almshouses The Leader noted concerns regarding the overall costs of the project, but acknowledged that a grant from the Council could assist the applicants in accessing other funding. The funding from the Council would be used to refurbish one of the toilets. The application met the scheme’s criteria and the Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,500.
Gamlingay Allotment Gardeners’ Association – table and benches Councillor Bridget Smith explained that whilst the Association’s funds were limited there were a number of active volunteers within the association and there was a waiting list for allotments. The Leader noted that the local members supported this application, which met the scheme’s criteria and he agreed to award a grant of £1,000.
Ladybird Pre-School – metal storage shed The Leader noted that the storage shed would protect the Pre-school’s equipment from damage and theft. The application met the scheme’s criteria and the Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,128.32.
Melbourn Amateur Dramatics Society – costumes, scenery, microphones and props The Leader noted that arguably an application for costumes, scenery and props did not meet the scheme’s criteria, although microphones could be funded. In view of the fact that quotes from the applicant had not yet been received the Leader deferred making a decision on this application.
Litlington Recreation Centre Management Committee – tables and chairs The Leader agreed to award a grant of £1,000 to this application, which met the scheme’s criteria and had the support of local member Councillor David McCraith.
