Cherwell District Council has received a share of the government’s Containing Outbreak Management Fund (‘COMF’) to contain and mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and have allocated £3,625 for the parish to “undertake and facilitate local action”.
They are suggesting that this local action could include:
– targeted communication about local support and assistance;
– support for vulnerable and self-isolating residents;
– measures to encourage and assist compliance with restrictions and guidance.
In this instance, the Parish Council can make the application on behalf of local voluntary community groups (although sadly this does not include businesses).
So, we’d love to be able to apply for some of this funding and would welcome villagers’ thoughts and proposals, with a reasonable estimate of costs, on projects which would qualify.
Please email your proposals to clerk@launton-pc.gov.uk by Friday 12 March.
