West Area Committee Award Presentation

On Wednesday 31st March myself and a couple of committee members attended the presentation of the ceremonial cheques for our application for funds for a community cohesion project.

These awards are created for the individual Councillors budgets to make a positive impact in the communities they represent. The application form for these awards are simple and give access to funds to community groups from a wide selection of society without having to go through some of the normal complicated processes required to obtain funding for the projects involved.

This year we have applied to take members of the estate on a day trip to Skegness by either train or bus depending on the level of interest from residents.

Here's hoping the day we pick will have some sunshine.

Best West Community Awards

The event tonight was a presentation for the money awarded for applications for community projects. It was great to see people being allocated money to benefit their community without having to jump through so many hoops and around so many obstacles so for a bit of cash.

The application was straight forward, the money was low in relative terms to council budgets but will at least the money goes to groups trying to make a difference and care about the community they live in.

The evening was a excellant night out at the Ballroom of the Nottingham Council House.
