        At its meeting on 2 October 2013, Perth Common Good Fund Committee awarded a grant of £2,400 towards the purchase of two Race Running Cycles, to be used by Perth school children with additional support needs.

       The organisation purchased one bike and the Council have paid 50% of the costs, i.e. £1,200, as per the criteria.  However, as there is a possibility of a donation of a bike, and they have very limited funds, it is unlikely that they will be purchasing a second bike.  They have therefore requested that we pay the other 50%.  Although this is not in line with criteria, the Committee can go beyond the recommended amount, if they so wish.
