Consultees
Ward Councillors were consulted prior to the consideration of applications by the Grants Advisory Committee.
Purpose of Report: 2. Duxford Bowls Club (ZRSLNWWW), the initial decision at committee was to defer to be able to ascertain the ownership of the building and who should be responsible for building repairs – The group have confirmed that they own the bowls club house and are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the building. The PC own the land and lease it to the bowls club. This information has been relayed to the committee and a recommendation has been made to award the grant to the full amount of £1000 now rather than wait for the next GAC. The reason being there is no GAC in October and the application would not be reconsidered until the end of November. To award the grant now will allow the group to make the necessary repairs to their clubhouse before the bad weather hits.
