All grants are subject to certain conditions. By applying for funding for a community grant for sustainable travel, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

The contribution is based on the original estimate of the scheme and shall include any administration time but excluding V.A.T (Non-budgeted expenses will not be considered). Some projects may be considered for full funding if suitable in kind contributions can be demonstrated.
2. The applicant undertakes to use the funding it receives from the Council for the purpose only of delivering the agreed activity  and for no other purpose whatsoever.  The Grantee further undertakes that any part of the Funding which remains unexpended on the Project shall be repayable to the Council on demand.
3. You must guarantee that:
   • the grant will be spent wholly on the agreed activity
   • the grant is the entire sum which it is entitled to receive for the provision of the Project and that any additional expenditure incurred, whether foreseen or not, must be met by the applicant
