discussion on the facilities available for older people to stay in the
village. JM reported that there are
bungalows available at BUSINESS PLAN, PROJECT
TIMETABLE JM reported that the
biggest fund available is the Wellbeing Fund, with a total of £165
million. We will need to align the
initiatives with the appropriate funding as it is important to apply to the
right funding body, otherwise the request just gets
rejected. It was agreed that we need
clarity on how we apply and if we can apply to more than one fund at the same
time. It was agreed that the Chairman
would make an appointment to visit the Lottery Commission when he is next in The Chairman went on to say
that he thinks we should be doing something physical and would like to get an
architect involved and some plans drawn.
The Village Hall Committee needs to be involved and because DC and JB
are on that committee as well as this one it is hoped we can work
together. We need professional advice
on the costing of a new building versus an extension to this building. The Chairman will contact the Chairman of
the Village Hall Committee to start putting some plans together. He will also speak with Alan Rawlings, the
architect who lives in the village. NW
thought it would be helpful if he can present to us ides on what could be
done. AK reminded the meeting that she
has made contact with Mansells and will speak with
them again after the architect has been contacted. She also reminded the meeting that it was
felt important to have an environmentally friendly building. JM reported that the
lottery funding is in 2 stages the first stage is £25,000 for a development
grant and this may be applied for by 30.4.07 if that was successful we would
be invited to apply for the second stage.
He went on to say that Rosalind Johnson should be asked to become our
lottery go-between and the Chairman agreed to ask her. It was agreed that we would all look at the
lottery website and seek to become more familiar with their requirements. The Chairman will download
the application form and work back setting key dates and giving us plenty of
time to meet those dates. Action JL, All. It was agreed that “The
Lottery” will be a permanent agenda item for all future meetings. ANY OTHER BUSINESS The Chairman will speak to
