Awards For All
A conditional offer for a grant of £10,000 has been received. Councillor Bateman and the Clerk have gone through the conditions of the offer with Mr Ely and the signed letter of acceptance (along with the required financial documents) will be posted a.s.a.p.
The grant is for additional play equipment on the field and Mr Martin Ely showed the Councillors possible items in several catalogues. There is a huge variety of equipment in various price ranges. Martin said that it would probably be possible to get 3 or 4 pieces of equipment installed, with safety surfaces underneath, for the £10,000.
Martin said that he would go back into the Junior School and ask the children what they would like and then he would approach the companies to get the 'best deal'. Hopefully by the February Meeting everything will have been sorted out and the equipment will then be ordered.
Mr Ely was thanked by the Chairman on behalf of the Councillors for his work towards getting this grant offer.
