    For publication Bedford Borough Council – Report to the Mayor April 2016 Report by the Assistant Chief Finance Officer Subject: GRANT REQUESTS FROM RURAL ORGANISATIONS 1. Executive Summary This report invites the Mayor to consider a request for financial assistance towards a capital expenditure project from a rural parish council. 2. Recommendations The Mayor is requested to consider one application for financial assistance and to determine the amount, if any, to be awarded. 3. Reason for Recommendations To support rural parishes in the provision of local facilities that benefit rural communities through capital expenditure. 4. Key Issues 4.1 Legal Issues The Council must have the power to provide grant funding to the organisation concerned. A source of power for payments to “voluntary organisations” (which are defined to be “a body which is not a public body but whose activities are carried on otherwise than for profit”) and to charitable bodies (in furtherance of their work in the United Kingdom) is s.137 of the Local Government Act 1972. A further source of power is the Localism Act 2011. Financial regulations enable the Council to capitalise grants given to organisations for purposes that constitute capital expenditure. The Mayor - Rural Grants – April 2016 (1) 4.2 Policy Issues The Rural Affairs Committee has agreed guidelines to be used in the evaluation of applications for rural grants. The current guidelines are shown at Appendix A. 4.3 Resource Issues The Council’s agreed revenue budget for 2016/2017 includes a sum of £100,000 for Rural Grants. No awards have been made in the year to date.
