Report of Director of Community Services enclosed.

The Director of Community Services submitted a report presenting the further recommendations of the working group in relation to the allocation of grants under the Recreation/Culture/Arts Development scheme. It also outlined the grants made under the Ribble Valley in Bloom scheme.

Members were reminded that some applications had required further evidence before they could be properly considered. That information had now been received and the working group had been consulted along with several new applications.

The working group had also considered the applications made under the Ribble Valley In Bloom scheme and agreed the recommendations made.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

1.    Endorse the recommendations of the working group outlined in the appendix for the Arts Development grants, and

2.    Approve the grants as outlined made under the Ribble Valley in Bloom scheme.
