Brighter Borough Grant

Thankyou to Councillor Jenny Bullen for supporting The Childcare & Community Centres to purchase a replacement defib battery for our defibrillator at Hilton Street. Our centre have numerous first aiders, evac chair, effective policies and procedures to Keep our community safe.

The Brighter Borough initiative provides a fund for Councillors to propose and support schemes that improve the environment and benefit the community within their Wards in line with The Deal 2030 and Community Wealth Building provisions. An annual allocation (currently £6,000 as at November 2020) is made to each Elected Member, which must be used to directly benefit the Ward providing the funding or where projects are identified which have a wider benefit, contributions can be made to jointly fund schemes. Each Elected Member in the Ward will have their own allocation, but at their request and agreement, these funds can be combined to work on a Ward basis where Members are from the same political party.
