To consider an application for Ward Flexibility Funding received from the Brazilian Festival Event for a grant of £900 (£300 from Bramhall North, £400 from Bramhall South & Woodford and £200 from Cheadle Hulme South wards allocation) towards the cost of running a Brazilian themed festival providing authentic Brazilian traders of food, drink, and crafts to the local community.

A representative of the Assistant Director - Legal & Democratic Governance submitted an application received on behalf of Brazilian Festival towards the cost of running a Brazilian themed festival providing authentic Brazilian traders of food, drink, and crafts to the local community.

Members commented on the importance of applicants attending the meeting to present their applications in person and to respond to Members questions, given the limited Area Committee funds.

RESOLVED – That the application from Brazilian Festival be declined on this occasion on the grounds that there was no representative in attendance and it was felt there was insufficient information in the application to be able to justify the making of a grant.
