Minutes:

Councillor Armstrong presented the report on the allocation of grant funding for major sports provision.

 

The Chief Executive said the recommendation should read “Cabinet awards grants up to the sum of £51,871.55 for the applications received and recommended by the Grants Panel,” in order to check the figures on one of the applications.

 

The Leader accepted the adjustment and said he was pleased that such funding would be made available to organisations in the District.

 

Councillor Day said the grants would be welcomed by local clubs and the funding would assist in getting young people to participate in sports. He supported the proposal.

 

Councillor Evans and Pepper highlighted the issues of LED floodlighting and the need to mitigate against light pollution.

 

Councillor Armstrong said the Council was working with a number of clubs who were not currently applicable for major project funding. However, they would be directed to alternative funding options, where possible. He proposed the recommendation, as read by the Chief Executive. This was duly seconded by Councillor Day.

 

RESOLVED that Cabinet awards grants up to the sum of £51,871.55 for the applications received and recommended by the Grants Panel.
