Wragby Parish Council grant applications

Grants for maintenance cannot be made by the Council, it was announced at the meeting of Wragby Parish Council and funding will not be provided to the Wragby Football Club for grass cutting in the future. This followed the application for a grant of £,1000 to include maintenance plus the erection of lighting and netting for the area around the pitch. It was agreed that the request could not be considered until more information was provided together with the receipted invoice showing the use of the grant provided in the last financial year.
Cllr Victor Nash complemented the Football Club on the work they do for the young people of the district by providing facilities for training and matches for three youth teams and an adult team. He felt very strongly that the Parish Council should be supporting the club in its effort to encourage sport as there were always plenty of complaints when there was a problem in the town in which it was thought the young people had been involved.
The application for £300 from the Wragby Heritage Group was also to be returned asking for more detailed
information. It regarded the cost and support the group were offering shopkeepers in Wragby Market Place with hanging baskets intended to add some colour to the area next summer as part of Wragby in bloom.
A request from the Wragby Youth Centre for replacement goal posts for the outdoor court area for safety reasons was approved at a cost of just over £500.
