Meeting: 30/06/2008 - Swale Local Engagement Forums (Item 6)

Community Engagement: Swale Court - Presentation to Local Board

Minutes:

Bill Smith attended from the Carnival Court of Swale.  The Court of Swale came into existence 18 months ago, and tours across Kent.  It is a mobile presentation and exhibition including attendance at the Lord Mayors Show.

 

The sum of £15,000 needs to be raised, with applications to all grant making bodies in Swale and beyond.  There has been limited success.

 

The Swale Court represents not just Swale but all of Kent, and invitations to attend have been received from across the country.

 

Members outlined that the delegated funding they received was limited and demand was high.  Members would consider the application for funding support carefully and would respond in due course.

 

Bill Smith was warmly thanked for attending.
