Members made the following additional comments:
· They asked that Volunteer Uttlesford looked to work more collaboratively with the CVSU and UDC in future.
· They asked that Uttlesford Citizen Advice worked with UDC to look for alternative ways to support in future.
· They suggested that Thaxted Centre for the Disabled could approach their Ward Councillors for possible funding from their Initiative Grants as well as possibly the Councillor for Essex CC.
· They considered that it would be a dangerous precedent to allocate funds to Radwinter Recreation for Ground Charity and suggested that Radwinter Parish Council be approached.
All bodies were thanked for their submissions and members of the public were encouraged to support these groups moving forward.
Officers were thanked for their contributions.
