Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To enter into a funding agreement with Enovert Community Trust to receive the sum of £9,000

Reasons for the decision:

The Hesters Way Forum has successfully applied to Enovert Community Trust for a grant of £9,000 towards playground improvement at Fiddlers Green (Elm Farm) open space. CBC are delivering the project and therefore the funding agreement needs to be with CBC.

The remaining project budget is derived from:

- CBC's own capital funds (£7K) which holds committed spend for this
project from 2023-24
- Hesters Way Forum (£1,600)
- Hesters Way Forum secured CIL funding (£12K) as approved through
the CIL Neighbourhood Panel. Total project budget £29.6K

Enovert Community Trust provides grants to support community and environmental projects in a number of locations across the UK. The Trust provides funding to a broad range of projects that bring environmental benefits and have as big an impact as possible on the community. The Trust distributes funds which are derived from from a tax placed on the landfilling of waste and has distributed more than £25.2 million.


Alternative options considered:

To decline the grant, and not undertake the work to such a high standard or as much play value.

Declarations: None
