Mr Hyland explained that the Fast Track Grants and Concessions can award grants of up to £1000. For expediency, a “Panel” comprising of the Cabinet Member plus two Panel members, determine these applications by email. An additional Member could be appointed member to act as a reserve. Decisions are reported back at the following Grants and Concessions Panel. Members of the Panel need to be able to respond to email within two to three days, so that applications can be turnaround within a four week timescale; from submission to decision.
The number of applications made last year through this process was 23.
