Decision

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before me,  I confirm my decisions on this matter as follows:

 

to:

 

(a)               pay a grant of £2,500 to Volunteer Link-Up (West Oxfordshire) for the period 1 February 2009 to 31 January 2010 to support the administration of the community car scheme;

 

(b)               ask Volunteer Link-Up to work with Oxfordshire Rural Community Council in pursuit of funding from the Primary Care Trust to support the costs associated with those journeys undertaken to meet hospital appointments and by clients referred to the car scheme by the Hospital Transport unit, and to ask officers to offer assistance to Volunteer Link-Up in securing this funding;

 

(c)               ask Oxfordshire Rural Community Council to work with Volunteer Link-Up to ensure best-practice in the management of the car scheme and to improve the recording of transport journey data; and

 

(d)               ask officers to review the continuation of this grant funding towards the end of the initial funding period, to identify and quantify the benefits that have arisen from the grant and to make recommendations for future action.
