A panel of Stratton parish councillors met on Thursday 7th November and, after discussion, agreed the budget amount to be paid as grants for 2019/2020 is as follows :-
£
Children’s Xmas Party 150.00
Charminster Brownies/Guides 75.00
Stratton Boules Group 25.00
Stratton Allotment Society 100.00
(subject to new trees being for general screening and not to provide fruit for individuals)
Stratton Youth Club 150.00
Total £500.00
A grant request under Section 137 from the Heart of Stratton Defibrillator Group was not accepted, but it was agreed that a grant of £75.00 be paid from Planning Gain funds to support future training events.
It was felt that as this group was already receiving backing from a variety of sources, the Parish Council would target its grants toward those groups who do not have such a width of funding revenue.
The allocations were formally agreed at the Stratton Parish Council meeting held on 19th November 2019
