6th Bromsgrove Scouts Group – Hut Security
Vivien Ware from the 6th Bromsgrove Scouts Group attended the meeting and Members considered the application before them. Arising from questions the following points were noted:
· It was confirmed that the CCTV would be fitted by a Scout Leader who was a qualified electrician and the equipment sourced through his regular supplier. · This will be done free of charge and would be the Scouts contribution to the cost of the project. · It was confirmed that the Scout Group did have a small amount of funds in balances. · The number of members of the Scout Group was confirmed together with the waiting list. · If the project was only part funded it was confirmed that the fire doors were the most important area of the project as the work would need to be completed before the Scout Hut could re-open. · The CCTV equipment had been discussed with the local Police who had provided advise on this and other areas following the break-ins.
Catshill and North Marlbrook Parish Council - Youth Club Start Up
Sami Osman attended in support of this application. The following points were clarified:
· The age range of those attending and the group aimed at in the future. The target audience was 11-16 year olds, but it would be open to others if they wanted to join. · The types of activities that would be included in the future programme were also highlighted, it was noted that there would also be a quite area available for the young people and together with a number of craft activities. · Unfortunately, the group had only held 3 sessions prior to lockdown being put in place. It was hoped that under normal circumstances the group would have between 20-30 members. Although it was appreciated that this would vary depending on the time of year but was felt to be a realistic target and manageable with the resources available. It was still hoped that this would be achievable despite the current situation. · It was anticipated that the Group would become self-sufficient within the first year. A small charge was made for attending the group and there was a minimal cost to hire the village hall. · The Group was run in partnership with the YMCA.
