Name |
How much Requested £ |
Discussion and Recommendation |
|
(1) Golden Hill Sports |
£1,118.69 |
The panel was pleased that the applicant has sought and gained match-funding. Vote: Unanimous in favour of funding
Recommendation: Fund Fully
|
|
(2) Sea Mills Together |
£250 |
This has to be considered a one-off grant. The NP is supportive of Sea Mills residents wanting to retain their idea of being a village, but the NP is also keen to fully integrate Sea Mills in to the Stoke Bishop ward.
Vote: Unanimous in favour of funding
Recommendation: Fund fully
|
|
(3) St Ursula’s PTFA playground project |
£3,000
(£3,913.64) |
The panel has supported schools before but is concerned that the plans for the new build do not include playground provision.
The panel would like a plaque acknowledging the NP’s contribution placed either on the new bench or nearby. Vote: Unanimous in favour of funding Recommendation: Fund fully DEFERRED – pending further information regarding Academy funding for playground provision |
|
(4) The Church in Westbury Park |
£992.55 |
The panel is not inclined to fund the compost element of the application as this is something that can be sought cheaply and regularly elsewhere
The panel would like a plaque acknowledging the NP’s contribution placed either on the new bench or nearby.
Vote: in favour of funding £792.55
Recommendation: Fund £792.55 |
|
(5) W-o-T Village Hall |
£3,000 |
The panel would like a plaque acknowledging the NP’s contribution placed either on the new bench or nearby.
Vote: Unanimous in favour of funding
Recommendation: Fund fully
|
|
(6) W-o-T Methodist Church |
£2,155 |
The application was difficult to understand but it is assumed that the figure here is what is being requested.
The application appears to contain a prayer. The applicant should be reminded that BCC funds cannot be used to fund religious work. This application comes close to be being overtly religious. As the application is to help upgrade facilities for the benefit of user groups, the request is granted.
Vote: Unanimous in favour of funding
Recommendation: Fund fully
|
|
(7) Working Group for Older People |
£3,000 |
This application was withdrawn. The Well Being Panel believes that the WGOP, as a working group of the NP, shouldn’t have to apply for funds from the Well Being budget. It has recommended that the Chair of the WGOP put in a formal request to the NP for £3,000 from the NP budget.
Recommendation: Do not fund as application withdrawn |
