 (Voting: unanimous)

Neil Dyer, representative from Hardington Mandeville Parish Council addressed the committee.  He believed the project to tarmac the currently wet, muddy lay bay to allow three parking spaces will help provide a more accessible and safe parking bay for vulnerable people living in and using the church and nearby village hall.

The Income and Opportunities Manager then presented the report and highlighted that the project has had an access audit from Access for All and they were very supportive of the project.  He also confirmed the other 50% of funding had been secured, there was strong member support and had been given long term sustainability from Somerset County Council for the maintenance of the bay.

Following a short debate members voiced full support of the officer’s recommendation and it was then proposed and seconded to agree to grant up to £1,925 to Hardington Mandeville Parish Council towards a new accessible parking bay.  On being put to the vote this was carried unanimously.
