Cash Boost To Local Projects

It’s been agreed that almost £150,000 of property developers’ cash will
be handed out to two more Harborough community projects.

Harborough District Council has approved this latest funding from
Section 106 contributions at its meeting this week.

This is money provided by developers for community projects and social
infrastructure in locations where development has been allowed to take
place.

The bulk of it – £135,091 – has been awarded to St Luke’s Church PCC in
Thurnby – to bring back into use a redundant Pavilion on Manor Field as
a new Community Centre and Café.

£13,912.47 is going to Lutterworth Cricket Club – for the development of
a new cricket ground at Lutterworth College – to enable more junior and
women’s cricket.

People are invited to submit further grant applications to HDC by
October 28th, in time for the next round of funding allocations in
December, by emailing grants@harborough.gov.uk.
