LOCAL GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY CODE
Community grants scheme register
Last updated 31 March 2022
Annual funding
We are strongly committed to the localism agenda and want to see more examples of community groups taking over responsibility for local services or working in partnership to enhance services. Since 2014, we have provided financial support to community groups and parish councils to enable assets and services to be transferred to them where this contributes to a reduction in costs to the Council. This includes, but not exclusively, maintaining open spaces, litter picking, bin emptying, and taking responsibility for facilities.
