Decision

The Area Committee has given approval to an application received from Marple Fest for a reduced grant of £1,800 (£800 from Marple North and £1,000 from Marple South & High Lane ward allocations) towards the cost of installing festoon lighting in the Marple Precinct to improve the ambiance and functionality of the town centre and the outdoor space. The extra lighting will make the southern end of Market Street easier to negotiate when it is dark.

Alternative options considered

To make a grant of £4,000 as originally applied for.
