The Area Board considered one application for funding from the Community Area Grants Scheme as follows:

Everleigh Parish Council

The Parish Council was seeking a grant of £1,873 towards the cost of providing facilities for children aged 12 and over. A BMX track would be constructed around open-air mini gym exercise equipment to promote physical training and recreation.

Decision

The Area Board agreed to award the sum of £1,873 to Everleigh Parish Council towards a BMX track and mini gym facilities.

Reason: The application met the Community Area Grants Criteria 2010/11 and the project would provide much needed recreational equipment for teenagers and would encourage young people to make healthy lifestyle choices.

The Chairman announced that the Area Board still had approximately £35,000 in the Community Grants pot for distribution to eligible local groups and projects. Anybody interested in applying for a grant was encouraged to contact Val for further information.
