Report of the Town Clerk (copy attached).

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk informing Members of applications for grants from the Police Property Act Fund during 2012 and asking the Committee to consider each request, in addition to four further grants suggested by individual Members.

Given previous discussions around the issues of begging and suicide in the City, Members suggested that it might also be appropriate to aware grants to Broadway and the Samaritans to assist them with their work, and these were agreed in addition to those grants proposed in the report.

RESOLVED: That Members:-

(a)   note the contents of the report;

(b)   approve one-off grants of £1,000 to each of the following charities:-

i.      The Royal Humane Society: (CC Reg. No. 231469);
