YOUTH SMALL GRANTS
Decision:
The Local Committee (Spelthorne) agreed:
(i) to approve the Officer recommendations in paragraph 2.2 of the report on the award of funding.
Minutes:
The Chairman welcomed Leigh Middleton (SCC), who introduced the report.
Cllr Isobel Napper declared an interest, as she is on the Board of VAIS, one of the bidders. Cllr Napper was invited to stay for this item, as only SCC members can vote.
It was suggested that those who do not receive funding should apply to their SCC councillor for funding from SCC councillor member allocation funding.
Mrs Coleman proposed alternative amounts to be awarded. Mr Walsh seconded. A vote was taken by SCC members:
2 for, 4 against. Therefore it was not carried.
The Local Committee (Spelthorne) agreed:
(i) To approve the Officer recommendations in paragraph 2.2 of the report on the award of funding – that all remaining funding is allocated.
