Local Neighbourhoods Scheme (funding for local projects)

The aims and objectives of the Local Neighbourhoods Scheme are to:

• fund projects which are a high priority in local terms, but which cannot be funded from other mainstream or borough wide sources
• help local voluntary and community organisations to develop and extend their activities for the benefit of disadvantaged groups
• stimulate self-help within the community, develop a community spirit and enhance local pride within the borough generally
• undertake small scale, locally important improvements and projects which deliver at a local level
