Decision details

The Executive considered 6 grant applications to the Council’s Community Fund Grant Scheme.

Members considered each application, noting the impact that each project would have and, where relevant, comparable funding provided by other authorities.

It was noted that an application from Oakleaf Enterpriseto introduce a service for vocational training for those experiencing mental ill health had been recommended for refusal as the scheme was fully funded until March 2018; it was, however, recognised that if necessary a new application could be considered in December 2017.

Members were advised that the application from Camberley Lawn Tennis Club to excavate and construct a crate-based attenuation soakaway system to mitigate the flooding of the tennis courts was recommended for deferral as, following advice from the Council’s drainage engineer, it was felt that alternative options and solutions should be explored.

RESOLVED

                             (i)            that the following grants be awarded from the Council’s Community Fund Grant Scheme, subject to any conditions set out in the agenda report:

                            (ii)            to refuse the application from Oakleaf  Enterprise in Guildford to introduce a service for vocational training for those who are experiencing mental ill health, as the scheme is sufficiently funded until March 2018; and

                          (iii)            to defer the application from Camberley Lawn Tennis Court to install a new system to prevent flooding of the tennis courts in order to allow all options to be explored by the Council and the applicant.
