Decision:

To allocate a community pride grant as follows :

 

£5000 to Connect Regen to support the implementation of upgrade works to Bath Terrace/Commercial Street car parks

Reasons for the decision:

As part of the 2015-16 budget, agreed by Council on 13 February 2015, £50,000 was set aside for the community pride scheme.

 

In addition, a further £4,000 was added to the pot from the community development budget to create a community building grant fund.

 

Both funds were made available to support neighbourhood-based projects that will build up community pride and enable local groups to be more influential in supporting their communities and improving their neighbourhoods.

 

Cabinet on 14 July 2015 agreed to allocate £46,293 and also agreed to delegate to the Strategy and Engagement Manager, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, how best to award the remaining funds. They are now proposing to allocate £5,000 to a community-based project to upgrade Bath Terrace/Commercial Street car park, known as the Bath Square project.
