Issue - meetings

To consider any applications for funding from the Community Area Grants Scheme:

The area board considered four applications seeking 2010/11 Community Area Grant funding.

Warminster Development Trust

Decision

To award £1,500 to the Warminster Development Trust towards a study into the feasibility of alterations to the Development Trust Office.

Reason

The application demonstrates a link to the community plan and meets locally agreed priorities.

Warminster Health and Social Care Group

Councillor de Rhe Philippe expressed some concern that the group had made no attempt to obtain other sources of funding.

Decision

To award £510 to the Warminster Health and Social Care Group to provide facilitated weaning sessions.

Reason

The application demonstrates a link to the community plan to reduce health inequalities, coach young people in skills, develop preventative healthcare and engage people.

Warminster Environmental Pride Team

Some concern was expressed that the group had made no attempt to obtain other sources of funding.  There was also some information missing from the application form which required a detailed breakdown of the expenditure to be provided.

The Chairman then moved the following motion:

To award £510 to the Warminster Environment Pride Team to provide information and equipment to local volunteers.

The motion was not seconded so could not be put to the vote.

Councillor Newbury then moved the following motion:

To defer this application to enable further information to be provided.

The motion was not seconded so could not be put to the vote.

The area board was therefore unable to make a decision on the grant application.

Warminster Blueznzuz

Decision

To award £175 to Warminster Blueznzuz to provide transport for young people to a Christmas party.

Reason for decision

The project demonstrates a link to the community plan, is already supported by Wiltshire Police and will enable the police to take a much larger group than they would otherwise be able to do.
