Council encourage and welcome a pro-active approach that any organisation within the Borough takes to secure external funding. On occasions, under the terms of the lease agreement in place the lessee requires Council support, as landlord, to apply for funding. Council is supportive of those applications and when approved through the appropriate Committee a letter of support is provided for submission by the lessee to the funding body. There are no further steps that Council take to follow up in relation to support given to organisations who have applied for external funding. Should funding be awarded then the onus is on the organisation who secured the funding to ensure the funding is delivered in accordance with the letter of offer from the funding organisation It would also be expected that the funder would ensure delivery and compliance in accordance with the terms of the funding awarded. |
