Grant ramps it up in Cowbit

Cowbit Parish Council has been given £11,500 to improve accessibility to the village’s park pavilion.

It has come from Lincolnshire County Council’s Strategic Grant Fund.

County councillors can vote for projects to receive the funding.

Couns Raymond Condell and Thomas Sneath nominated the Cowbit authority’s bid to provide a wheelchair ramp to the outside and accessible toilet.

The parish council has been given £11,500.

Among the other projects to receive money across the county are £15,000 to the Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikes service for the purchase of a refurbished vehicle.

Coun Rob Gibson, deputy leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “We’ve had a good range of different projects come forward since we launched earlier this summer, and there is still scope for more groups to benefit.

“Contact your local county councillor if you would like them to consider your community project.

“Strategic fund grants are available from £3,000 to £15,000 and are assessed against criteria to demonstrate how the funding will make a difference and help meet the council’s objectives.

“And each councillor also has access to £3,000 each for ‘divisional grants’ for smaller projects too – anything from £100.”
