New Hutton Windfarm Grants 2019


The 2019 grant application form can be downloaded HERE.

The Wind Farm

Picture
Lambrigg Wind Farm was officially opened by local winners of a school drawing competition organised by RWE npower renewables with the four winners from Old Hutton and Grayrigg Primary Schools each having one of the wind turbines named after them. The children also started the last of the wind turbines to officially open the wind farm. A public open day was also held on 23 September 2000, when the facility became fully operational.

RWE npower renewables, the operator of the wind farm, provides a community fund to assist local community projects in the vicinity of the wind farm. The annual fund started at a base level of £6,000 and is index linked each year in line with inflation. It is available throughout the operational life of the wind farm, which is expected to be 20 to 25 years.

The Lambrigg Wind Farm Community Fund is administered by New Hutton Parish Council, Grayrigg Parish Meeting, Docker Parish Meeting and Lambrigg Parish Meeting, so decisions about how the fund is allocated are made by local people.

The Composition and Remit of the Committee
The administration and accountability for the Wind Farm Community Fund in New Hutton resides in a Committee which comprises two nominated Parish Councillors and three Parish members.

Tony Porter (Mill Lodge, Beehive Lane, New Hutton LA8 0AJ, telephone 725542, tojo.milllodge@btinternet.com) currently chairs the Committee, with secretarial duties being shared by members, as required. The financial account has been arranged with Barclays Bank in Kendal.

The following guidelines apply to the running of the Committee:

1. Members of the Committee serve for four years, commencing from inception in July 2003. At the end of that time the Parish Council will nominate two of its members to serve, and the three independent parish members will be invited to apply for re-election alongside other interested parishioners (if any). Communications will be channelled through the Grapevine.

2. An Annual Meeting will be held, to which all parishioners will be invited.

3. In April/May of each year (around the time of the annual meeting) application forms for grant requests will be sent out to local community organisations. Applications will also be invited from other interested parties who have projects for which financial support is required.

4. It is anticipated that the Committee will meet in late summer/autumn of each year to decide on the allocation/distribution of funds. If necessary a verbal presentation may be requested from applicants in support of their request.

5. Successful applicants will be encouraged to report to the Annual Meeting indicating how the grant money has been utilised.

6. The details of the fund distribution will be communicated at the Annual Meeting, and the Wind Farm authorities (RWE npower renewables) will be informed.
