GRANT FOR BRIGG GROUP'S HEADQUARTERS


A long-established Brigg group which serves young people is to get a grant from the Town Council.
The money will be used to provide a new front door at the1st and 2nd Brigg Scout Hut, situated on the corner of Elwes Street and Paradise Place, close to the Old River Ancholme.
Access to the building is being improved.
An application from the Scouts for financial assistance from Brigg Town Council's grants and donations budget met with a positive response at the authority's September meeting in the Angel Suite.
The meeting have heard that the door would cost £470 + VAT with free fitting, Councillor Donald Campbell successfully proposed that the council paid the full amount.
North Lincolnshire Council has now granted planning permission for the Scouts to install a ramp to the front door with safety handrails, remove a section of boundary wall and a new front door
Brigg Town Council told  planners that it supported this application.
There were no comments submitted by members of the public.

Do voluntary groups, like the Scouts, pay VAT?
If they do, it's a little unfair when public schools are exempt on charity grounds...
