To consider an application for Ward Flexibility Funding received from the Rotary Club of Stockport Lamplighter for a grant of £360 (£90 from each ward). The Rotary Club of Stockport Lamplighter has toured the streets and store sites of the Stockport Metropolitan Borough with the Christmas Float every December since 1994 to raise funds for local charities, self-help groups and worthy causes. The Christmas Float, built in 1994,has performed well since then but now has problems which our proposed  project needs to address by updating throughout. The grant would go towards the cost of replacing the generator with two deep cycle 12V batteries, replace the current lighting system with low power LED equivalent and the music sound with Bluetooth Speakers, rewire towing cable connector to match the wiring of recent new connections, replace emergency brake cable and coil spring and paint and sundries to both float and trailer.

 The Area Committee considered an application for Ward Flexibility Funding received from the Rotary Club of Stockport Lamplighter for a grant of £360 (£90 from each ward) towards the cost of replacing various parts of the Christmas Float used every December to tour the streets of Stockport.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to Ward Flexibility Funding of £360 to the Rotary Club of Stockport Lamplighter for the aforementioned maintenance of the Christmas Float, to be funded as follows: -

Heatons North Ward - £90

Heatons South Ward - £90

Reddish North Ward - £90

Reddish South Ward - £90
