Discretionary Ward grants & Common Good grants in 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15
Dear Highland Council,
I understand each of the 22 council wards receives a discretionary budget and it is for each ward to consider when they wish to commit funds; that Common Good Funds can be used to provide financial support for a wide range of local community activities; and that a Chief Executive's Discretionary Fund exists.
I would be grateful if you could supply details of all grants applications made to and/or awarded by the following funds:
i) each Ward's discretionary fund;
ii) Common Good funds in Cromarty, Dingwall, Dornoch, Fortrose and Rosemarkie, Grantown, Invergordon, Inverness, Kingussie, Nairn and Tain; and
iii) the Chief Execcutive's discretionary fund
to cover the last 3 financial years (2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15).
I am specifically looking for the following information:
- date application received
- name of applicant/organisation
- purpose of grant (outline only)
- amount of funding requested
- date and outcome of decision (including reason if declined and amount of grant if approved)
Many thanks for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
A Russell
