NEW MEMBER OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP SOUGHT

NEW MEMBER OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP SOUGHT.

Would you like to be involved in the process that allows for funding help to Community Projects such as the White Horse liming, footpath maintenance, Coffee Mornings, and a thriving Village Hall?

The Bluefield Solar Community Fund allocates a grant to Broad Town each year for the use of community projects, but to help alleviate any potential conflict of interest at the Parish Council, each application is first presented to a local Advisory Group for consideration, and they will help the Parish Council decide how best to allocate the funding.

Grant applications happen a few times a year and the members of the group say this useful work is not too onerous at all!
