Meeting on Tuesday, July 14, the committee recommended awarding £7,000 to the Ottery St Mary Carnival and Tar Barrel Committee following a presentation from a representative. Members also approved grants of £600 to SPACE and £400 to ORCA after hearing from both organisations during a confidential session. East Devon District Council is progressing funding allocations for Ottery St Mary Cricket Club and Ottery St Mary Association Football Club, while work continues towards resurfacing the town's tennis courts. The committee reviewed a number of governance policies, recommended approval of updated Standing Orders and several financial policies, and agreed that finance reports should be reviewed monthly before quarterly accounts are presented to the full council. The Town Clerk will write to Devon County Council requesting that remedial works are carried out as soon as possible.
