FUNDING is on offer for parish and town councils in the Lutterworth area.
The first round of Harborough District Council’s (HDC) £1million capital grant funding for parish and town councils is open for applications.
The fund aims to strengthen working relationships between the council and parishes and towns in the district, and enable projects and initiatives to benefit communities at a local level.
HDC leader Coun Phil Knowles said: “This new capital community grant fund has been made available to communities by the council to enable the delivery of local projects across the district.
“Parish and town councils that would like help with their application can contact one of our two grant officers who will be available to provide support.
“As Chair of the Cabinet Sub-Committee Grants, I am looking forward to receiving the first round of applications and hearing about the proposed projects and initiatives that the local communities wish to deliver.”
Applications for funding will only be accepted from parish or town councils and parish meetings, after seeking the views of their ward councillors.
Parish and town councils may submit applications on behalf of local community groups or can work together to submit joint applications.
Parish and town councils have until October 20 to apply for the first round of funding, which will be considered by HDC on November 19.
