A representative of Hazel Grove Carnival Association attended the meeting and submitted an application for a grant of £560 (Hazel Grove ward allocation only) towards the cost of purchasing three heavy duty Gazebos for use on the carnival field in Torkington Park to be Control and information Centres; and the First Aid tent. The Associations’ original gazebos are quite old and not in good condition and no longer fit for purpose.

Members thanked the applicant for their attendance and clarification, and commented on the importance that the group buy quality gazebos that could be used for future events.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to an application received Hazel Grove Carnival Association for a grant of £840 from the Ward Flexibility Budget towards the cost of purchasing three heavy duty gazebos for use on the carnival field in Torkington Park to be used as Control and Information Centres and the First Aid tent.
