Decision details

The Executive received a report recommending financial assistance towards a new watering system, footpath repairs and a defibrillator by Byfleet Bowls Club.  It was noted that the defibrillator should be based on the outside of the building, although if it was deemed impractical by the Council’s Senior Health and Safety Officer funding would still be provided by the Council for its purchase.  Following a recommendation by Councillor Kemp it was agreed that a condition be added to require the Club to register the defibrillator with Surrey Ambulance Service.

RESOLVED

That a grant of 50% of the capital costs be awarded from the Community Fund, up to a maximum of £3,750 comprising the following breakdown:

-    New Watering System – 50% up to a maximum of £2,000;

-    Footpath repairs – 50% up to a maximum of £1,000; and

-    Purchase a defibrillator – 50% up to a maximum of £750.

Reason:   The support will lead to better health and safety arrangements at the Club as well as improving the facilities on offer.
