Minutes:

The Neighbourhood Development Officer presented the application as detailed in the agenda and explained by the funding was being sought.

 

In response to a comment made during a brief discussion about the lack of funding from other sources, the Clerk for Somerton Town Council explained that over recent years the Town Council had successfully achieved significant grant funding for a number of larger projects in the town. This particular project was one that needed to be proceeded quickly to maximise benefits, but there was also a need to consider the money versus effort aspect.

It was proposed to award the grant as per the officer recommendation, and on being put to the vote, this was carried unanimously.
