Agenda, decisions and draft minutes
Public Speaking: To register your intention to speak at a Council, Cabinet or Committee meeting, please contact Democratic Services on committee@uttlesford.gov.uk or 01799 510410, 510548, 510369 or 510460. Panel, Forum and Working Group meetings do not generally permit public speaking. Please refer to a specific meeting's pdf agenda pack for further information and registration deadlines.
Live Broadcast: For Council, Cabinet and Committee meetings the video player will be available on this page under the Media banner a few minutes before the meeting is due to begin. Please note that Panel, Board, Forum and Working Group meetings are not generally broadcast on the website. We believe that live streaming video of our formal decision making meetings, and publishing the recordings to be watched back later, is good for democracy – and you can find these videos on our website. This video technology sits alongside the longstanding practice of providing seats in the public gallery for members of the public and journalists to turn up and watch our in-person meetings live. Please understand that whilst we will continue to make every reasonable effort to ensure that our key public meetings at which important decisions are live streamed and recorded, any failure in that technology does not in any way invalidate the legitimacy of that meeting or of the decisions taken at it. Even in the event of such occasional technical failures, the public gallery will still have been open, as required by law, and the minutes of the meetings will still be made available in due course.

Voluntary Organisation Support Grant Applications To consider all applications and allocate up to £310,000 grant funding as per the Council’s Grants Policy. Additional documents: Decision: RESOLVED to allocate up to £310,000 grant funding to voluntary organisations as detailed in Appendix A. Minutes: Each application was considered in turn. The Chair confirmed that £310,000 was available for distribution, the same figure as the previous year. She said that it was unfortunate that there was a limited budget to support the amazing volunteer work being undertaken throughout the district.
Members unanimously resolved to grant funds to organisations as detailed below:
Uttlesford Community Travel also submitted an additional request for £17,000 for vehicle replacement from another grant.
Members made the following additional comments:
· Carers First had received no funds due to their application being received after the deadline had expired. · St Clare West Essex Hospice Care Trust had received no funds as they were currently well funded, particularly for the activity applied for this year. Their accounts had demonstrated that there were funds ring-fenced for the activity that funding was applied for. · Future applications would be asked to provide longer term plans for a three year period to enable increased stability over the funded period. · The Leader encouraged residents to become members of Uttlesford Community Travel.
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.
Meeting Closed 3.31pm
