Decision Maker: Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To determine the grant application.
Decisions:
The Executive received an application for funding from Woking Community Furniture Project as the Group had stated that there had been a reduction in income due to the Town Centre redevelopment.
Councillor Lyons stated that there was sufficient evidence to show that the ongoing works had affected the Group’s income; many vulnerable people depended on the Charity for their furniture; and that a rent revision would be an appropriate way of supporting the Group. The Executive endorsed the recommendation in the report that no grant be awarded as it was not felt that the Council should fund the existing services of the project.
RESOLVED
Reason: It is not considered that the application has demonstrated sufficient justification for the Council to fund the existing services of the Project.
Reason Key: It is likely to result in the Council incurring significant expenditure or savings.;
Recommend to Council?: No;
