To consider an application for Ward Flexibility Funding from the East Cheshire’s Musical Theatre Company for a grant of £1,000 (£500 from this Area Committee) towards the cost of a production and assist in widening the promotional materials for members and for the audience.

A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted an application received on behalf of East Cheshire’s Musical Theatre Company for a grant of £1,000 (£500 from this Area Committee) towards the cost of a production and to assist in widening the promotional materials for members and for the audience.

Members noted that the proposed performance would take place in the Romiley area and as such not all the benefits associated with the proposed application would be felt within the area represented by this Area Committee.  As a consequence, members considered that it would not be appropriate to make a grant for the full amount applied for on this occasion.  It was suggested that consideration should be given to making an application for funding from the Werneth Area Committee.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to an application received from The East Cheshire’s Musical Theatre Company for a grant of £250 from the Ward Flexibility Budget (Cheadle Hulme South ward allocation) towards the cost of a production and assist in widening the promotional materials for members and for the audience.
