Felly, we had a meeting with County this week, and we were told that we could add this to our budget for next year, £100,000, provided this is used for promotion and expansion. If you remember, we had a certain contingency fund in the grant saying that if new schemes wanted to set up, we would have a little bit left aside for that. So we could add that to that section of the grant, and then back to the grants that we received. Obviously, we've got two, we've got on page 17, the wardens, so basically what they would like to do is promotion to four parishes in a scheme, and if you work that out per parish, it works out at £427 per parish. I'm kind of in front of the comparison between the two applications here. So, within the application, the wardens and the trustees will visit community organisations and events and interact with other agencies. They'll also extend their use of social media and also make improvements to their websites and also do leaf-flip drops to all households. So that's the first one, and then Age UK, as I mentioned, breaking that down, the 11 schemes, they cover 33 parishes, and that works out at £405 per parish. It's very comparable to the wardens in that respect, and they want to use the funding to offer additional hours to the wardens, so at the moment they offer two weeks free, and I think they're wanting to extend that to four weeks free sessions. And they're also going to obviously promote by having attendance at community hubs that are delivered by Cambridge and Acre. They're going to reach out to local community groups and professionals, go to team meetings to raise awareness. They're also going to do a how-to guide toolkit for wardens, and that will be obviously sensitive to hyperlocal needs as well, so it's going to be quite bespoke. And if you've got any questions, I'll do it. Thank you. Thank you, Emma. I was going to bring up the 5908 and see if there was any way we could keep it, but that was brilliant. Could you thank our county colleagues on behalf of us here? That'd be great. Anyone got any questions for Emma on this? OK, in that case then, maybe go to the recommendations, which is on page 11 of your agenda. I think we just go with the recommendation, which is the award the amount of funding requested. And then, as I say, thank county for the 5,000 that we can add to the pot. Have I got an agreement for that from everybody? Yeah, thank you very much. Lovely. Over to you, Emma, for your agenda item number five then. Thank you. So we have eight applications this month, totaling £13,831.57. Two of these are biodiversity applications and two are deferred applications. So straight on to page 34, we have the Farmland Museum. So this attracts over 11,000 visitors each year, with many from South Cambridgeshire. Apart from the museum, they offer educational visits and outreach sessions, which can be offered to local schools and youth groups. And they have a cafe at the museum, and this cafe has been using domestic appliances for many years. And they've said that the current 10-year-old fridge is working beyond its intended capacity and it's struggling to maintain the correct temperature through the constant opening of the doors. And they would like to install a commercial prep counter fridge. And you can see the picture there, what that looks like. And that will obviously improve service, make it quicker and safer. Total costs, including VAT, are £1,799.99, all of which is being requested from the community chest. And we have Councillor Anna Bradnam in support, as well as Judith Griffith as well. And the Parish Council have nothing but good to say about the Farmland Museum and full support of the projects. Thank you. Colleagues, Councillor Inton. Thank you. I just feel the Parish Council are really not supporting the Farmland Museum. They gave £1,000 for funding 10 years ago. And really all they can say is we haven't heard anything bad about it. Which is really not what you might call great enthusiasm and pretty poor. But that doesn't mean that I'm against the whole idea of giving them the money for the fridge. It's just I don't want you to make the comment. I think we have some. Councillor Harold. I think what you say is perfectly sensible. I think we should be able to give them the funding but ask the question. Or give them £1,500 at the Parish Council to fund the rest. Peniela, Councillor Samford. Thank you, Chair. The report says the Farmland Museum is working hard to become a sustainable, self-funded organisation. What is our financial model at this time? I suppose I could declare an interest in having experience in this. Not the Farmland Museum but having running a charitable organisation which has a fully functioning cafe and kitchen. And the last thing you need is equipment that fails you because it just literally destroys your trade in a moment. So I personally, if there's no one else to speak, agree with Councillor Inton and Hanraig that we should fund. But it would be nice if the Farmland Museum could make stronger efforts with the Parish Council to build that relationship to help with their funding on a more local level. Thank you. Back to you Emma. Thank you. I've actually got a meeting. I'm actually going to visit the Farmland Museum next month with one of the colleagues in the economic development team. And we're going to suggest we're going to have a look round and make suggestions. We've also spoken to Councillor Riffith as well and had a few conversations with her. Suggested a few things, forwarded a few grants, opportunities potentially they could apply for. I think it's, I think from what I can see they're doing quite a bit but I'd like to obviously visit so I can update you obviously. That's great. Thank you Emma. It's a really hard field to play in I think. Councillor Hanraig. I agree with you Chair that we should be supporting this. The Farmland Museum is sort of a district wide asset really. It's probably the only kind of museum of its type in our district. So I can understand why support for it would come from the district and the Parish Council might say we'll support it but not in perpetuity. I'm trying to say that it's an asset for the district, not just the parish. So I wouldn't be too critical of the Parish Council but yeah I'm happy to support this, happy to support it, yeah. Okay I think we have consensus on that one that it will be supportive so thank you very much Emma, over to you. Thank you. The next on the list is Sourston Youth Group. It's one of the biggest and well-known youth groups in South Cambridgeshire with 72 children that attend. They provide fun activities each week for four different age groups. They've also supported many local events with their band. And requests have come from the children to do laser tag. And this would encourage young people to learn cooperation, strategy skills, hopefully strengthen bonds and improve communication skills. It's also as you can imagine good exercise which can be a stress relief. They're requesting eight rechargeable laser tag sets. That's enough for 32 players and 30 Nerf guns. This is a total cost of £1,731.58 all of which has been requested from the community chest. We have Councillor Brian Mills and Councillor Libby Earl in support. Just to say that the financial support of £1,500 was granted by Sourston Parish Council in 2020 to help pay for the annual insurance. And some of their capitation fee as the grief could not meet, obviously they couldn't meet during lockdown. But no further request has been made since then. So thank you. So out of my colleagues, as I am the eternal child, laser tag is absolutely fabulous. You get knocked, bumped, bruises and everything and you get zapped every now and then with this electric shock boundary body or the vibration. It's fabulous. But I don't want to push you away from that. But actually I was going to introduce a laser tag session for the Grants Committee as a warm-up. Any questions from my future victims? I don't know the first thing about laser tag. I'm afraid it's passed me by shame really. It sounds like it's good fun. But the support of councillors, Mills and Earl for me is important. They both clearly are very supportive and the parish councillor supported it in the past as well. So it sounds like the sort of thing we can support. I took my 11-year-old grandson to a laser tagging at Grettenwater. They do it in the woods around there and he had a fabulous time. So I think this sounds like the sort of thing that young adults is not too babyish and it's a bit sort of good for exercise. So let's go for it. Don't forget the eternal child, right? Councillor Henry Irish. I'm sorry, I do agree that children should have fun. But the word guns puts me off considering what's been going on in London. That's all I have to say. But I support their fun. Councillor Samford. Thank you chair. I'm noting the request has come from the children themselves which tends to suggest the equipment will get well used. I would support the obligation. That's a lovely thing. Anybody else got something? Can I have a show of hands in favour of or otherwise? That's it. OK, that's you now the most. Thank you very much. Emma. Thank you. OK, so page 36 we have so positive. They help people mend, repair, upcycle and repurpose clothes to calm the mind, improve mental health and wellbeing. Also to contribute towards a more sustainable and climate positive approach to textile waste. And what they would like to do is run some workshops and community workshops to engage communities into some of their projects. So these events is for events that they've listed. There's the city council communities events which is called food for the planet. And I've looked this up because I wasn't sure exactly what that was actually what they'll be doing there. They're going to get use old fabric to make planters that fits in with obviously food for the planet. There's the Let's Go Circular Festival events at the Grand Arcade in Cambridge on the 23rd of October. An event with South Cambridgeshire Library Service, a taste event in North Stowe. We're not sure on the date yet but that will be coming up as well. Total project costs are £2,000 all of which are being requested from the community chest. And this would be for things like insurance, just giving fees, a zoom licence, higher of venues, materials and things obviously to help these workshops. So the coal trust are providing £2,000 to pay for the salary to the delivery of the projects. And they have a number of approaches to identify those facing social exclusion. That's all in the report. I won't go through all of that because there's quite a few. There's quite a detailed report on that one. Just to let you know that they already benefited from community chest funding. That was £1,000 back in March 2021. That was the start-up costs of 1,800 in March 2022. That was again set up costs and materials to support their workshops and their charity. Since the report was written, the Haysingfield Parish Council written to say that they are in support of the application. And that's along with councillor Lisa Redwap and councillor Michael Atkins. Thank you. Thanks Emma. Councillor Hinton. My only thought was how do we know that there are self-camps residents who are going to benefit? Okay, it's a fairly small amount and they're running a number of different events. The money that we use is provided by South Cam's ratepayers at the end of the day. Therefore, I think we'll have some sort of vision about ensuring that it goes towards South Cam's residents. I'm sure Emma can tell me, but I just thought I'd ask the question. In the report, they said that they're going to target housing associations. Obviously, they would target those in South Cam. Again, leafletting these methods, they could target South Cam. Obviously, it would be useful to know if they were funded. Obviously, how many did actually attend the workshops from South Cam. I'm sure they could provide that at a later date. But at this stage, I suppose it's a bit of an unknown, but they are actively going to promote. Thank you, Emma. I think this is a fantastic project, but I have the same question as Councillor Ewington. Does he actually benefit from Cambridge? I have a feeling this is very similar to some of the other co-op and other bits and pieces that we've funded in the past. Where there is a broad spectrum of people that attend or take part. I think we've always, if you like, allowed this to take place. And then we've also reported, as Emma rightly said, we then go for numbers then. So I think given the rights up on it and the information in the actual application that we have here, my personal opinion is we'd be okay with it, I think at the moment. I think it's quite a wide area they're going to target. That's the handling. I apologise now if Emma has already said this and I missed it, but did the parish get, on the report it says, the next meeting takes place on the 11th of September and the decision will be made. Are they supporting it? They support it, but financially not. Because I suppose it's something that benefits the whole district, although the organisation is based in Haislingfield as far as I can see. These events are there for everybody in the district. I feel similar to you, actually, Chair. I think we can support this. Okay, unless there's anyone who's against it, if you could just give me the nod if you're against it. If not, I'm looking around the room. I think we have unanimous approval on that. But if we could ask for the numbers, if we could. Or even if they hadn't thought of doing that, if you could just nudge them in the right direction, so to try and get some self-cams numbers. Or how it breaks down, thanks. Over to you again, Emma. Thank you. Page 38, you have Emmaus, Cambridge. So they provide meaningful work, companionship and accommodation for up to 50 people in Land Beach. Those accepted will receive their accommodation, food, utilities and other essentials for daily living. What we need to do is sign up to working for 40 hours a week within the community and social enterprises and sign off all benefits except housing benefits. So there is a mobile gym known as Fitness Rush Mobile, which is in a van, essentially. And it visited them back in the summer for six weeks. It has a maximum capacity of eight people and it proved very popular. There's people that want to, other people from Emmaus that would like to take part as well, but obviously they're restricted because there are only a certain number of people that could do this. And what they would like to do is apply to us for start-up costs to provide three more six-week sessions and that's a total cost of £1,800. They've said that if they're successful, future funding will come from local fundraising and other grants. And we have Councillor Anna Bradlund in support. Thank you. Thank you, Emma. Colleagues, colleagues. Emmaus is a fantastic charity, a fantastic institution. Shame there aren't more of them around the place. And I would certainly want to support it. I would probably say, you know, if it's such a popular facility, you know, should they not think about trying to provide their own facility by raising funds for that. But that's, yeah, up to answer the question that I hear. I fully support this. Thank you. Councillor Hamrodd. So I support anything to do with exercise and I think this is a really good project. But what happens after six weeks? Where do they continue? Good question. Emma, do you have any information? They've not said, but obviously they said that if it's successful, they will actually try and fundraise for more, obviously, sessions. So that could well be the same people, if not said, but obviously there's 50 people at the organisation or everybody's going to want to use it. So I'm hoping that, you know, this would be for people to carry on using it if they wanted to. But beyond that, I don't know the answer, I'm afraid. I suspect this has a feeling of seed funding. Once it starts and it shows it's worth, then Emma, it's a very good, and there'll be money as you can see here. It's 92, so they're obviously doing something right. So it's, and as Councillor Hamrodd said, they are a stupendous organisation. So that wouldn't surprise me, Councillor Hamrodd, that they'd get further funding from elsewhere. Sometimes it's just enough to get that going. People see that anything, I'll have some of that as well. So, okay. Councillor Samford. Thank you, Chair. Just following on from that, I'm wondering what start-up costs they're covering, because the mobile gym obviously already exists. It's visited for six weeks, so presumably the site location is all set up and everything. So is this just paying the fees to the mobile gym for six weeks more, or a little lack of detail there, which is rather concerning? We'll go back to Emma then. Peace. I have that concern myself. As officers, we did discuss this, actually, to be fair. I think six weeks is not that long to trial something. I think you maybe have to give things a little bit more time. Again, it's within the first year still of trialling this. So I thought I would put it to you, obviously, as committee to see. So it was a concern I had, but I wanted to sort of see your opinions, really. Thank you. Okay. Hearing what people are saying, I wonder if this is something we could think about then. So my personal opinion is that we would run with this, but we could put some caveats, if you like, so that we would very much welcome Emma giving us some more detail about how it's going to continue on afterwards. How it's going to, what the £1,800 is actually going to be used for, in quite, I think, significant detail, as an agenda, an addendum, if you like, to what we've already got here. I don't think I have a problem with the funding in the first hour. I'd just like to know. If you're all happy with that, yeah? We'll go with that. I mean, obviously, this is a recommendation to Councillor Williams, Lead Member for Finance, it might be so. He may well disagree with us, but we're at the advisory group, so I think looking around the room, we'll run with it, but with those caveats. Councillor Hamley. Just a final comment, Jen. Can I ask Emma? Would you be able to put Emmaus on to the county council, because it's the sort of thing that they, you know, since it's a health and wellbeing issue, it might be something that they can run with as well, so I would strongly, if we haven't already, I would suggest we do. Thank you. And back to you, Emma. Absolutely. I'm sure they're on their radar, but I will, obviously, put them in their contact with them as well, yeah. Thank you. After we're going back to you again now, for the next one on the agenda, I think it's the Brain Trust, is it? Thank you, yeah. So page 39, we have Brains Trust, which provides personalised support to help people with a brain tumour, and this also extends to their loved ones as well. Just a little figures here. In Cambridgeshire alone, there are 137 team Brains Trust members and supporters. So there is a Brains Trust bus bell 10-miler, which is an annual 10-mile running events. This year, the event is going to take place on Sunday, 26 November. This is a charity event with all proceeds going to the charity. It also allows community groups such as sports clubs and school PTAs to fundraise and also encourages more people to take up running for their health and wellbeing. Costs to put on the event are on average around £3,500 to £4,000. And £500 has been requested from the community to help cover these costs. Shortfalls will come from 10 local businesses at around £2,000, Hertfordshire County Council, other donations, and the entry fee for the first 50 runners. Basingbourne Parish Council have provided martial support for the events and will possibly provide a financial contribution for the drinks for the marshals. That's to be confirmed. All remaining money generated from ticket sales will go directly to the charity. We have councillor Susan Van De Ven in support. We'd also like to welcome, I think Ashley Hawkins is online. You may have any questions. He's our applicant for this. Ashley, yes. Thank you. Thank you. I'm here. I'm on the tickol need questions if anyone has any questions or concerns. Welcome Mr Hawkins. Thank you very much. We looked at this, I think, over a number of weeks, and our office, in my view. Could you say about the £500 application that you're looking to put it towards costs. Would you be kind enough just to let us know felly'r cost wedi bod ni'n gwybod i'ch gyd lead yn edrych ar y cyfnod 500 pln yw'r cyfrifod. Rydych chi'n meddyliau 500 pln Ie, yw lael y cost of mwy yw yw'r cost yw mwy, a'r cost yw'r cost oletawd. hollu'r cwrdd, o'r hollu'r cwrdd.

Aeth yr oed yn mengyrthio'r cyffredin iawn o'r cyffredin iawn o'r cyffredin iawn. ond we will find other bits and pieces, so where you mentioned the first aid, I'm sure that's going to be a significant cost that we would be able to contribute towards. So if that would be acceptable to you, I'll go to the floor and see to my colleagues now and see what they say, but that's where we're aiming at. Emma. Obviously from the application you've also mentioned that there's chip timing medals and trophies as well as part of those costs, race number costs and race packs, which I should imagine obviously contributes quite a bit there. Yeah, so you see what we're coming from here Mr Orffinger, thanks. Right, I'm going to go to the floor now, Councillor Semford. Thank you Chair. I think it would be completely appropriate to ask for a costed list of what council tax payers' money will be used to purchase. Otherwise, as we've discussed it will just disappear into a pot and there will be no accountability, so I'm happy to approve subject to a costed list of what we're funding. Anybody else? Councillor Hanley? Yeah, I support what Peter has just said. I think we need a specific item that we can point out and say that's what we, this grant, have funded. Councillor Rose. I agree with what Councillor Semford has said. Councillor Orton. I was just thinking that there must be other things that have to be bought like tape and posts and signs for the road and all sorts of bits and pieces which we would be happy to support but maybe they're already in the store cupboard waiting to be used. But could be added to the list that were being asked and I think I heard you say water for water bottles and things. I understand that could be added to the list included in the list. So I think there is probably enough to cover the 500 if you just adjust the way your budget looks. Brilliant. Councillor Hanley? I just suggest that this is perhaps Mr Hawkins and Emma can talk about this and get something specific before it goes to the lead member for resources. Some things say look, this is what this funding is for because otherwise I can see that he may well not be supportive. You took the words from my mouth. So Mr Hawkins, would you be kind enough, as Councillor Hanley just said, to discuss this with Emma, preferably email I think, in that email, would you be kind enough to list some of the things not publicity based that you will be putting the 500 quid towards and then Emma can then be assured and make the recommendation. So I think based on that we approve it but it's going to have to be without that caveat if you like. That information will be provided and then obviously the lead member for resources would make it easier for him. Thank you very much. That's perfect. Thank you Chair. Thank you very much for attending. That's really great of your thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Emma, over to you. Thank you. So we have our first biodiversity application. This is on page 41, which is from Cambridge Pass to Present and Future. You'll obviously, I'm sure you're aware of them and what they do, the work that they do, but they protect the amenities, green spaces, historic buildings, character and setting of Cambridge and its neighbourhood for the benefit of the public. They provide over 100 educational, cultural and recreational events each year. And since Cambridge Pass to Present and Future took ownership of Wondelbury Country Park in 1954, thousands of trees have been planted. And the cost of managing the woods that Wondelbury has been broken down in the reports and this includes managing veteran trees, copacing tree planting, planting woodland ground flora, installing bird and bat boxes, materials and training. And a mixture of the estate team and contractors are used to achieve this. There's also a breakdown of the woodland management costs, which total just over £44,000. And £2,000 has been requested from the community chest. Requests for funding have also been made to a couple of organisations. We've got the Chapman Charitable Trust of £1,500 and Illumina Community Grant of £15,000. The shortfall we've met by themselves through their charitable reserves and also through fundraising. The Stakeford Parish Council are very much in support but are unable to provide any funding. They've said because legislation prevents this, but they obviously wish them success with the projects. I've also been in contact with John Cornel who's our Natural Environment Team Leader since this report was published and he has said that he's confident with this application as they're a highly credible player in the restoration of natural habitats in South Cambridgeshire. Also he said it's a good use of funding. We also have support from Councillor Peter Fane. Thank you. Thank you, Emma. Councillor Hanson. I would question the parish council saying that there is legislation which prevents the parish council providing financial support for other organisations. This is in their parish. Therefore they can provide money towards the support of their parish. If for some reason they believe they can't give it to Cambridge Pass present and future then they should find some other way of giving it to them in a way which will support their parish in my view. I have to say, I agree with Councillor Lenton. The only thing that I'm absolutely perfectly sure about with the girls other organisations is education. These parishes can't do educational churches, I believe. But even then, if they own the churchyard after it closes, the churchyard, they're irresponsible for it anyway. I find it difficult to swallow the legislation coming here. It's the parish council's decision, I suppose. Anybody else can have it? I think the project is fantastic. It's something that we should be supporting. I'm just putting £2,000 of council taxpayers' money into a big bucket along with lots of other funds. Is that something that we would normally do? It's not dissimilar from the previous thing that we discussed, really. Isn't there a specific item that they could point out and say, look, we want a bench or we want a bird hide or something for £2,000? Please give us the money. That's what I would prefer to see personally. I totally agree with you. Anybody else? Councillor Sanford. Thank you, Chair. I do know that CPPF received a grant towards the restoration of Bourne-Winmill a few years ago. So they do know, the different ways their projects can be funded. But I not just the district council and I completely agree with Councillor LinkedIn about the parish council interesting reason for not contributing. But this almost seems like a project that CPPF should have a big public appeal and whatever public fund raisers rather than asking for drip funding from the district council. So I'm kind of ambivalent on this one. Okay, Councillor Henry, do you have anything to add? I can see exactly what Councillor Henry is saying. I think he's right. Perhaps you've got a half-way house there, Councillor Henry. They've said that they do do fundraising every year. So I think they do obviously publicise it and try and get as much money as they can from local people. I think we hear you. We read the lovely application, as Councillor Henry said, it's a really terrific project. But these are very well-versed people as Councillor Sanford said in getting their finances together in my view. And I think they could well have made an application with specific funding request for an item or whatever. So would colleagues be supportive of deferring this to the next meeting and ask in Emma to go back to the applicant to say, is there anything specifically you would like to ask £2,000 for as an item or something else other like that? As Councillor Henry described, an Emma would know what to ask anyway. If that's the case, then we'll defer it to the next meeting. I think they should be able to come back quick enough. Is that okay? It's lovely. Thank you. We have a deferred application of H45, another biodiversity application. This is from Marvel Green Management Company. You'll remember this from last month. So basically they wanted £2,000 for their World Life Corridor project. A further reminder, this is a small housing development consisting of 18 houses in Meldrith, where residents own part owner wooded green piece of land. There were some questions we wanted to find out from them. Firstly, details were acquired on the management structure, including what involvement each of the members have in the scheme. We've been told that it was set up by the developer to enable the maintenance of all the shared areas. The managing agent is currently Janet's ever limited. All residents are members of the management company by virtue of paying a service charge towards the maintenance. Second question was whether members will be remunerated through this grant, and if so, how much? They have specifically said they are not seeking to be remunerated, so that's that one. The last question was whether any of the annual service charge is allocated to this project, or will South Campus District Council be funding all of the costs? They have said that £925 out of their service charge is going towards the project. I hope that someone answers those questions. Thank you. If I might say this is unusual, a bit of graphic is unusual, that both Councillor Hart and myself, as the local members, were asked to go over there for advice by the management group, the group of residents there, the resident group, and to show us what they've done. They were kind of left, I think, to be perfectly frank, high and dry by the development company that would appear, and he'll get on with it. So they've done a significant amount of work. The irony is that with the new building regs, where you try and have all the surface water coming off, and be contained on site, whether it be suds or an open pond, as in this case, it looks a bit urbanised, if you like. It's a really industrial looking hole in the ground, and they've done their level best to soften the area and make it look more habitable, if you like. Out of that came this project, if you like, which has involved every single member of the community in their development. It's an ongoing process. There's lots of children involved in it, and they're making it chulfer in the disabled access around the site where it wouldn't have been in the past. Round this pond is so significant. It must be half as big as this chamber. It's huge, just for 18 hours. So, as you'll see, Mr Hillam, Lee Hillam, from our watercourse department has been on site as well, and has offered the services of the council to do some kind of refurbishment, if there's a wrong word, of the watercourse to the rear of the site that this drains into eventually. So, actually, it's a pretty nice project. So, from my point of view, I think it will be money well spent, and it's not a closed site. It's open to everybody, and they're intended to do, as you can see, from the application, various bits and bobs are there, but I'll shut up now and let you guys talk. Thanks. You need to talk now. Yeah, it's slightly uncomfortable. I mean, the history, it sounds as though the developers sort of pushed off, left them with a problem, and now they're saying, council, can you help us to sort it out? So, we're almost paying for the shortcomings of a developer, which is, I'm quite uncomfortable about that, to be honest. But, oh dear, I'll hear other people's views before I form an opinion of my own. Dancer Samford. Thank you, chair. Yeah, if I'm reading this correctly, the council does actually own some of the properties on the development, so we have a stake in this. Yeah, I share, Councillor Anne is unease, but I think we are where we are to use a cliche, and we should probably support the residents. Sam Raj. It is unfortunate that developers do this, and I don't think it's the first instance. Has anybody actually approached the developers about this? As I understand it, yes. They've been in constant communication and not interested, basically. I think they've done their job, they've moved on to the next development. So, if they're not legally obliged to do anything, then we should be helping them, that's my view. But first find out if the developers should legally be doing something. As I understand it, they've done the very essential to stick within the rules. So, it's been left, if you like, as a very industrial-looking process. That's why they formed the Residence Association, I think, to offload it. So, that's my point. As far as I can see, it's been totally handed over to the residents, and that's part of this, so the developer isn't, I don't think they're legally binding to it. Basically, I think any developer, they don't do a certain amount to a certain point, but I think what they're trying to do here, in terms of biodiversity, is go beyond that. I mean, you can see the map there. I don't think any developer would go to that extent, as far as I can see. So, I thought about that. Councillor Orton. I think, knowing developers the way I do at the moment, that they've come to the end of the road with their developers. I think we should support the residents who are trying to make something that was very unattractive and not used into something that is eco-friendly, that is useful, that is going to make their environment more acceptable to all that live there. And I think, yeah, it does come into the criteria for the grants committee to give them the money. So, I'm supportive. Thank you. Sorry, Chair. Is it okay to speak? Yeah, I mean, as Councillor Sanford said, we are where we are. And so, I agree. I wanted to hear what other people thought, but I'm happy to go with it as well. Okay, do we need to go to vote? Or are we... We're all agreed, yeah? Okay. Can I add something, actually? I mean, I don't want to put too much on us on the residents, but actually, because this is kind of like on the periphery of what we might do normally, it would be very nice to have a couple of updates over the year. So, once you give them the money, there's going to be some planting going on now because it's coming into the right time of year for planting, bushing, heaven knows what else, the shrubs and stuff. It doesn't go in so perhaps in six months and then in 12 months anyway. But we could be able to have an update. And if they want to send us pictures and what have they done, it would be great if we can just take it on as a report, if you like, on one of the committees, what we're going to do about Mayish, wouldn't it? People take... I think that would be quite nice, actually, just to show what's work. Thanks. A picture of the chair of the grants committee leaning on a spade, perhaps. A bit more like a wetsuit. OK. Over to you, Emma. Thank you. So, I believe this is the last application, which is page 48, which is Abington Village Institutes, which is a community hub and village hall. So this is another deferred application. If you remember, this was to replace the substructure of the decking by the emergency exits. There was a few questions that we had. Firstly, whether they had sought permission to use a combustible material adjacent to a fire exit. They have said they've not sought permission to use the material in this location. And they don't believe it presents a hazard. Secondly, details on what material the wall surrounding the fire exit is composed of. This is timber and glass. And this is obviously outside of the building. I'm not enclosed. They've said. Also, confirmation if the building is owned or leased. And if it's leased, what type of lease is in place and whether it includes a repairing lease. They've said that the building is fully owned by the Abington Village Institute charity. And then, when the confirmation will be received from Great Tunisal Abington Parish Councils on the request for funding. They agreed last month to provide just over £9,000 towards the project. Thank you. Thank you, Emma. Colleagues, if you recall we were at some concerns about the recycled plastic decking, if you like, as a fire escape. At conversations with officers that it probably would be perfectly okay to grant fund this. But with the provides though that we can just comply with any regulations that they need to comply with. I think that would probably be the best route for all of us. I'll be to support your view on that. Yeah. Councillor Samford. Yeah, likewise. Also, gypt in significant demand of funding. So they're obviously supportive. So, yeah, I think we can go forward with this. Thank you, Councillor Hanrash. I haven't done anything. Councillor Hanrash, is that good? Yes, thank you. That looks about like you're done for the day. Wow. Thank you, Emma. Brilliant. Thanks all yourself and the colleagues as always. And to our democratic services for running the system. Just like to say, thank you very much for coming along and to all the... because it's now September back into September so the summer holidays are finished now so the thousands of people have attended this meeting online to watch us give away some public money. Thank you to you, but it's all over and done with now. We'll see you next month. Thank you very much. Bye.
