A funding application for £500 from Mr Vijay Patel for an Easter Play scheme was not supported because it arrived too late for it to be considered before the play scheme was due to commence.

Proposal: Rushey Mead Fun Day (Mela) – Saturday 5^th July 2014

Submitted by: Sandfield School Parent Teacher Association

Amount requested and supported: £472

Attendees were asked to note that an application for £500 from Mr Vijay Patel for an Easter Play Scheme was not supported because it arrived too late for it to be considered prior to the proposed event.

It was further noted that a funding application from Jane Ushwell, LCC Parks Services for £300 to plant poppies and wild flowers on the Rushey Mead Recreation Park and Appleton Park had been submitted approximately four months ago and appeared to have been mislaid.  The funding application was not therefore to hand but Councillors agreed to support the bid in full pending receipt of a new application.

Action: the Neighbourhood Development Manager / Community Engagement Officer to process the applications that the councillors had agreed to support.

Attendees were asked to note that previously the community meeting had agreed to fund some bulk bulb planting along one side of Troon Way by the new Sainsbury’s Store. A request had previously been sent to the company asking them to match fund this amount to enable bulbs to be bulk planted on the opposite side of the road. Sainsbury’s had agreed to this request.
