Good News. We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Community Fund for an electronic speed sign.
A grant has been successfully secured from the South Kesteven Community Fund, which covers 80% of the required funds, leaving a balance of £652 needing to be raised. Initially, local businesses and business owners were approached. This has raised £250 at the present time, but there may be further pledges made. Further to the update issued in mid-January considerable voluntary contributions have been garnered from pledges within the local community. These now total £402. This means that there will be no recourse to parish council funds for the purchase of the sign.
The Parish Council is presently awaiting official permissions for the utilization of lampposts. Once these permissions are obtained, the necessary funding will be released and the sign purchased..
Gratitude is expressed to all those in the community and the following local businesses for their generous pledges and donations in support of the speed sign initiative:-
J-Flex, Hill Farm Furniture, NSA Builders and Pro-Fit Mouldings.
