Reason:

Minutes:

The Area Development Manager said the Parish Council and the Tintinhull Project Team had been working towards the construction of a new village hall for 4 or 5 years.  She said the majority of the capital would be secured on a no-repayment basis which would afford better hire rates.  If the Big Lottery grant of £640,000 was not secured then the SSDC grant award would be reviewed.  She read out a letter of support from County Councillor John Bailey. 

Mr R Le Flufy, Vice Chairman of the Parish Council and Village Hall Committee, spoke in support of the application.  He noted the costs involved and the various sources of grant funding sought together with the Parish Council contribution and local fundraising.  He confirmed they had a business plan in place which predicted that they would be operating at a surplus by year 3.

During a brief discussion, all Members expressed their support for the project and they unanimously confirmed the grant application.
