The Executive received an application from 1st Goldsworth Park Scout Group towards the cost of making good the paving areas and surrounding paths to the Generation Centre. Following a question by Councillor Lyons, the Shadow Portfolio for Grants to Voluntary Organisations, it was noted that the standard Council contribution towards capital applications to be supported equated to 50% of the total cost, unless exceptional circumstances could be demonstrated by the Group.
RESOLVED
That a grant of 50% of the costs up to a maximum of £7,500 be awarded from the Community Fund towards the paving work.
Reason: The proposed work to the paving area will improve the appearance and safety of the access to the Generation Centre.
