Dringhouses & Woodthorpe ward is inviting applications from local organisations for ward funding.

The deadline for submission is 28th June, and applicants will need to demonstrate how their project meets at least one of the four ward priorities.

Applications can be made online HERE.

Due to changes made by the Labour administration, the funding available for 2024/25 is just over £13,000, far lower than under the Lib Dem-led administration. As a result, many schemes that it had been hoped to commission, such as further improvements to local play areas, are unlikely to come to fruition.

Labour’s scrapping of the ward highways budget also means that small-scale improvements to roads and footpaths to support cycling and walking cannot now go ahead.
