The Executive received an application for a capital grant from The Useful Wood Company towards the purchase of specialist equipment.

Following a question by Councillor Forster regarding the relocation of the Group, the Chief Executive stated that a vacant industrial unit had been identified not far from its current location and a visit was being arranged by the Council to enable the Group to assess its suitability.

RESOLVED

That, subject to the outcome of the Council’s budgetary process, a grant of 50% of the costs up to a maximum of £4,250 be awarded from the Community Fund towards the purchase of specialist equipment.

Reason:   To support the Charity in its ambitions to widen the scope of the training available and increase the range of products produced.
