Issue - meetings

Members noted the applications received since the last meeting. This includes the

following:

·         2 projects with Buckinghamshire Mind, which had been discussed in the Wellbeing Action Group and had been approved.

·         4 applications for highways projects, which 2 had been agreed.

·         An application from the Rotary Club of Burnham Beeches for a Christmas parcels project. The Board was in discussion with colleagues within the Community Support Team to explore the possibility of using the household support grant for food-related projects over the winter period.

·         The Board had received an application from a Children’s Respite Charity, which would be circulated to Members.

Overall, the Community Board had allocated about 65 thousand pounds, with over

200 thousand pounds still left in the budget. Mr Pearce informed Members that

organisations had approached the Board with some large-scale projects and

emphasised that there was still funding available to allocate before the end of the

year.

In response to an enquiry into the approved footway extension on Blackpond Lane,

Mr Pearce explained that a purchase order would need to be made for Transport for

Bucks to carry out the work and schedule it in. However, work was likely to be

minimal during the winter period due to bad weather. When the work has been

scheduled, the Parish Council, as applicants, would be kept up-to-date.
