Recommendation from the meeting of the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel on 10 September 2020 on the Hatfield Community Sport Fund.

(1)       The Decision Taken

RESOLVED:

(1)     Cabinet agreed to the new criteria as proposed by the Hatfield Community Sport Fund Board.

(2)     Cabinet agreed the revised submissions process for applications to the Hatfield Community Sport Fund Board and allowed applications to be submitted from January 2021.

(2)       Reasons for the Decision

The purpose of the report was to seek approval for the new criteria as proposed by the Hatfield Community Sport Fund Board (set out in Paragraphs 3.9 and 3.10 of the report and in Appendix three) and to agree the revised submissions process for applications to the Hatfield Community Sport Fund Board.

The Council acts as the administrator and coordinator of the Fund which was set up as the result of a legal agreement. A proportion of the Fund is ring-fenced specifically for football and for rugby, with the remaining funds being made available to the wider sporting community of Hatfield.

The Fund had been open to the community for three years now, as such the Fund’s Board decided it was timely to review the criteria and application process to ensure that it was as clear as possible.
