MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING
RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meeting held on 15th October 2014, having been
circulated, be approved and signed by the Chairman as a correct record.
With the agreement of members, Item 4- Grant Aid applications, was brought forward for the
benefit of those wishing to speak.
F/5182
GRANT AID APPLICATIONS
The Committee considered 5 applications for Grant Aid from Victim Support, Forest Forge
Theatre Company, Ringwood Rotary Club, Ringwood First Responders and Vitalise (Annex
A).
Victim Support - Kate Ross, Delivery Services Manager from Victim Support made an
application for £200, to help in the recruitment and training of volunteers to support victims in
the Ringwood Area and to assist in payment of volunteers expenses. This is a National
Charity, offering practical and emotional support to victims of crime and in the last year has
helped 137 people in the Ringwood area. Cllr Thierry and Cllr Heron made observations in
relation to accounts provided with the application, compared to the figures on the website
Page 1 of 4
and that Victim Support had made grants to other organisations. Cllr Wiseman queried
whether any grant would be specifically used locally or returned to a central fund. It was
indicated that Ringwood was managed by Hampshire and Isle Of Wight area, that there was
a need to recruit in Ringwood and they would aim to recruit where there was a shortage of
volunteers. The Committee agreed that any decision on this application be deferred until the
accounts are clarified.
Cllr Stokes declared a pecuniary interest in the Forest Forge Grant Aid application as she is
the Vice Chairman and Cllr Rippon-Swaine declared a pecuniary interest as he is on the
Board of Trustees. They remained in the room however, they took no part in the discussion.
Forest Forge Theatre Company – Miranda Whitehead – Chair of the Board of Trustees,
made an application for £1000 to support the continued work of Forest Forge with Ringwood
events, productions and workshops. Funding from the Arts Council was lost in 2012/13 and
the company was surviving with the assistance of various grants and sponsors. Other
sponsors have reduced their grants by approximately 10% year on year, which has been
budgeted for. Cllr Heron indicated that Forest Forge, as a prominent Ringwood organisation,
was something the town should be proud of and should support. The Committee was in
agreement that £1,050 should be awarded.
Ringwood Rotary Club – The Committee considered an application for £150 to cover
expenses for Christmas Eve Festivities in Ringwood Market Place. All members agreed that
a grant of £150 be awarded.
Cllr Thierry declared a pecuniary interest in Ringwood First Responders Grant Aid
application and left the meeting at 7:22pm.
Ringwood First Responders – Denis Hann – Co-Ordinator for Community First Responders
made an application for £5000, to purchase new life saving equipment for Community First
Responders to utilise. He indicated that the local volunteer team had responded to around
300 999 calls this year. He explained that the kit costs £1,600 and they were looking to
purchase 3 kits, as there were currently 2 kits being shared between 6 volunteers. They
were hoping to recruit 4 new volunteers. The Committee agreed that a grant of £1,000 be
awarded.
Cllr Thierry returned to the meeting at 7:30pm.
Vitalise – The Committee considered an application for £692 to contribute towards the cost
of supporting Ringwood Residents who benefit from Vitalise care. It was noted that this was
a National Charity and from the accounts that there were £6 million in reserves. The
Committee felt that with limited resources, any grants awarded should be to local
organisations and that, for this application, no grant be awarded.
The RFO confirmed that the Grant Aid balance was £720, which was for the current year.
Cllr Theirry questioned what would happen if a Grant Aid application was received which the
Committee wanted to support, but there were not enough funds. The Chairman indicated a
proposal could be made to the next Full Council meeting to increase the budget provision for
an extra specified amount, but he would prefer that applications are dealt with as they are
received. Any grant the Committee were to recommend, beyond the outstanding balance,
would be passed to Full Council for agreement.
RESOLVED: 1) That any decision in relation to the Victim Support Grant Aid application be
deferred until the accounts are clarified
2) That under Section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972,
Page 2 of 4
a) a grant of £1,050 be awarded to Forest Forge Theatre Group to
support the continued work with Ringwood events, productions and
workshops
b) a grant of £150 be awarded to Ringwood Rotary Club to cover
expenses for Christmas Eve Festivities in Ringwood Market Place
c) a grant of £1,000 be awarded to Ringwood First Responders for
lifesaving kit
3) That no grant be awarded to Vitalise as it is a National Charity and as the
Grant Aid fund was limited, the Committee decided that grants should be
awarded locally.

MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS
Members considered the Monthly Financial Reports attached to these minutes as Annex B.
The RFO noted that there was expenditure for vandalism to a bus shelter and that the
Committee should perhaps consider increasing the vandalism provision for 2015/16.
The Town Clerk explained why a Southampton company had been used to supply certain
road signs, as it was usual to engage local companies where possible.
RESOLVED:
1) That the list of cheque payments on the Imprest account for October 2014
be authorised. Cllrs Heron and Rippon-Swaine signed the report.
2) That the list of Petty Cash payments for October 2014 be authorised. Cllrs
Heron and Rippon-Swaine signed the report.
3) That the Statement of Town Council Balances be received and noted.
4) That the Inter Account Transfer be authorised. As there were no entries
this month the report was noted but not signed..
5) That the list of Petty Cash Food Purchase and Sales for the Drop In be
noted.

BUDGET 2015/16
The RFO provided a document on new expenditure proposals for 2015/16 (Annex C) for the
Committee to consider. Comments were made as follows:The RFO indicated that currently, for this year, there was an expected modest overspend
from a predicted £234,000 to £238,000, due to unplanned work on Greenways, which has
been offset by savings made. Any further unplanned expenditure will be taken from
reserves, which are tight for this year. The reserve should however be in a better position
next year, when expenditure is expected to reduce to £230,000.
Item 2 – Replacement tractor – issues with the current tractor identified including breaking
down, maintenance costs and whether it’s fit for purpose. Cllr Thierry asked for more detail
Page 3 of 4
on the amount of time the tractor is not fit for purpose, as it may be more cost effective to
hire a contractor to do that work.
Item 3 – Skatepark – Funding to be confirmed. Estimated running and maintenance costs to
be built into new budget.
Item 4 and 5 – Additional £1000, £800 and £300 for training
Item 8 – Drop In running costs - Provision for staff time and support. A further provision may
be required for building maintenance and running costs.
Item 10 – Reliant on significant funding, maintenance may be a factor to be considered in
the future, however an all-weather pitch may reduce maintenance required with savings
potentially being made.
Item 14 – Tipper Truck –The Town Clerk would report back on the assessment given and
the figures involved. The RFO indicated that an outright purchase would be a lower cost in
the long run compared to leasing. There was an alternative solution of obtaining a second
hand truck from HCC.
Item 20 – Crow Lane – Ref P/5168 explains that this is covered by developers contributions
for the next 3 years.
Cllr Thierry enquired about microphones in the Committee room. The chairman confirmed
that monies within the building fund were available to fund the recording/amplification
system proposed. HCC were liaising with suppliers and the Town Clerk would enquire about
an installation date.
Cllr Thierry asked for confirmation of the amount in developers contributions. The Town
Clerk confirmed that the amount was currently £635,000, with additional funding expected
from outstanding applications. The Chairman indicated that CIL(Community Infrastructure
Levy) comes in in April and expenditure of developers contributions needs to be agreed by
then, however there are sufficient schemes, with outline consent, to ensure that the money
is used and not sacrificed.
RESOLVED: That the comments on the new expenditure proposals be noted

Dear Alyson,
Vitalise has been providing breaks with care for people with disabilities and
their carers for over 50 years!
We are a unique charity and believe that people with disabilities should have the same rights,
freedom and quality of life as able bodied individuals. In turn, carers benefit from time to address
their own emotional and physical needs and are better able to cope during the rest of the year.
Securing the support of volunteers in providing companionship for guests during their break is
also a vital part of our service.
Our accessible centres employ fully trained nursing and care staff, who are helped by volunteers
from all walks of life, to provide 24 hour on call care and companionship to each guest. This
enables our guests to enjoy all aspects of their break including daily events and activities and the
chance to make new friends.
On average disabled residents from Ringwood benefit from four Vitalise breaks with care each
year. By providing our services Vitalise not only improves the lives of people with disabilities and
their carers but delivers direct savings to families, local councils and social care providers.
It costs Vitalise an average of £1,384 each year to support your local residents. We are
determined to continue providing breaks with care for those in most need and we are seeking
your support in 2015. A contribution of £692 would make a positive impact to local disabled
people and carers.
Yours sincerely,
Clare Ellisdon
