Issue - meetings

To consider an application for Ward Flexibility Funding received from the Stockport Sea Cadets for a grant of £100 (Hazel Grove ward only) towards the cost of starting a community Karate & Self-Defence Club for cadet services, families, friends and the wider community.

A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted an application received on behalf of the Stockport Sea Cadets for a grant from the Ward Flexibility Funding Budget towards the cost of starting a community Karate & Self-Defence club for cadet services, families, friends and the wider community.

The following comments were made/issues raised: -

·      Members queried the inconsistency in relation to the distribution of the requests for funding between various wards within each Area Committee.

·      It was commented that there was previously a central funding source available for boroughwide Ward Flexibility Funding applications which was ideal for an application such as this.

RESOLVED - That approval be given to an application from the Stockport Sea Cadets for a grant of £100 from the Ward Flexibility Funding Budget towards the cost of starting a community Karate & Self-Defence club for cadet services, families, friends and the wider community.
