(b)          Skilled for Health

Decision

The Amesbury Area Board supported the bid from Skilled for Health to go forward for consideration by the Performance Reward Grant Panel.

(c)          Community Payback

This bid would help the Community Payback project reach more rural isolated areas, including parts of the Amesbury Community Area.  It was noted that some excellent projects had already been completed in the area, and the Community Area Manager undertook to forward details of how to nominate a project.

Decision

The Amesbury Area Board supported the bid from Community Payback to go forward for consideration by the Performance Reward Grant Panel.

Councillor Noeken also reported that the bid for the Larkhill Rejuvenation and Road Safety Project, as supported by the Area Board on 11 February 2010, had been approved by the Performance Reward Grant Panel.  The Panel had considered this to be such a positive bid that it had invited another application to include funding for other aspects of the project.  As such, the bid had been amended to include an additional £4,035 of funding.
