Consideration was given to one application for funding from the Community Area Grants Scheme.
Army Welfare Service Eco Bike Scheme
The application was for £700 towards an Eco Bike Scheme project. However there was only £213 remaining in the budget for 2009/10.
Val Powley advised that the Members had the option to award the full amount of £700, consisting of £213 from the 2009/10 budget, and the balance of £487 being allocated from the 2010/11 budget. Although the 2010/11 budget had been agreed by Council on 23 February 2010, this would not be available until 1 April. As such the full £700 could be awarded after 1 April, with the £213 being carried over in the meantime.
Decision
The Eco Bike Scheme was awarded the full amount requested of £700, which would be awarded after 1 April 2010.
Reason
The above application met the Community Area Grant Criteria for 2009/10 and would improve young people’s involvement in positive activities including initiatives to encourage sustainable transport.
Decision
The Area Board agreed to carry-over the remaining funds of £213 from the 2009/10 Community Area Grant budget to the 2010/11 budget.
