Chris Holme, Service Head, Resources & Economic Development, introduced the report which concerned a request to transfer a grant of £15,000, derived from S106 monies, to Roman Road Trust for the delivery of a summer festival in 2016.  Issue of the grant would be made under appropriate monitoring arrangements.

The Chair invited Councillor Saunders and Councillor Golds to comment on the proposals and they indicated that they supported the application.

Commissioner Max Caller enquired and Daniel Fordham, Business Partnerships Manager, confirmed that the Council will provide in kind support in additional to the grant.  The Chair noted that while Commissioners supported the application in principle, the value of any in kind support must be specified as it was part of the grant package.

RESOLVED

1. That the payment of a grant for £15,000 to the Roman Road Trust from Section 106 monies to match fund the delivery of a community event in Roman Road Town Centre be approved
2. That a report detailing the costs of the in kind support to be provided by the Council be made at the next Commissioners Decision Making Meeting.
