Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Finance and Assets said how great it is to be able to offer grants to tenants who do good work for the town, and she was therefore delighted to offer Whaddon Bowls Club a 24% reduction in their rent in recognition of their important contribution, providing exercise and a social space which creates real joy in a central location. She welcomed the report and thanked Whaddon Bowls Club for being a real asset to Cheltenham.
The Leader said that CBC is happy to award grants to a wide range of voluntary sector partners, from scout groups and community centres to the Gardens Gallery, in recognition of the work they do to keep communities strong
