Community Fund Applications
Minutes:
7.1 Applications
(a) Men’s Shed
There had been circulated an application for funding of £13,500 to cover additional costs of their toilet refurbishment programme. Mr Harrow advised that although additional information had been provided by Mr Malcolm Bruce the application did not currently meet the criteria for the fund as no estimates for the expenditure of the funds had been provided. Mr Bruce advised that he had now reduced his request to £9,500 towards an estimated total cost of £14,000. However, estimates for the work were still not available. Mr Bruce answered questions from those present. Following a discussion Councillor Tatler proposed that this application should be withdrawn and a new application be submitted for consideration by the new Assessment Panel in the next financial year. Councillor Haslam supported that proposal. Mr Bruce agreed to withdraw his application.
(b) Peebles Lawn Tennis Club
There had been circulated an application for funding of £10,000 from Peebles Lawn Tennis Club towards the cost of replacing their existing clubhouse. Ms Anne McKinnon from the Club advised that slow progress was being made regarding funding with £2k achieved so far. A number of applications were due to be considered soon and it was hoped that these would be successful as the building was in a very poor condition and membership was increasing significantly. Councillor Bell, seconded by Councillor Haslam moved approval of the application for £10,000 and this was approved.
(c) Citizens Advice Bureau
There had been circulated an application for funding of £4,000from Peebles CAB to install a new telephony system which would allow a streamlined system of call handling. Ms Jill Westwood, Manager of the Peebles CAB outlined the benefits of a new system which would also enable the recruitment of new advisers. Councillor Anderson, seconded by Councillor Small, moved approval of the application for £4,000 and this was unanimously approved.
7.2 Evaluations
There had been circulated evaluation forms from St Ronan’s Bowling Club, Peebles Christmas Lights and Innerleithen Community Fund and these were noted.
