Your community and environment

Local voluntary groups and charitable organisations in Wyre Forest can now apply for grants of between £200 and £500 from Wyre Forest District Council to help towards the costs of projects that benefit local people.

Wyre Forest District Council is to launch a new online lottery to help local good causes raise vital funds.

Popular leisure centres in the district are set to welcome customers back next month.

Measures that help keep the district a safe, clean and green living environment are to be extended for a further three years following a public consultation earlier in the year.
