- Cash Grant application- no closing date, environmental improvements to area e.g planting, hanging baskets, Chapel Street got it last year, down to councillors who gets the money. Need to get quotes – Chapel street have got planters outside the library. Hanging baskets would be nice- parks do it all, tell them how many we need, never enough! Securing the park was also important- kissing gates important and disabled access. £40,000 for the whole ward.
Importance of securing the paths- that should come from another source.
Go through parks as it’s cheaper and don’t have to pay VAT.
Gone for 1 kissing gate from the cash grant- up to £2,000
