Community groups, schools and voluntary organisations in Flintshire are being reminded to send in their applications for the latest round of Welsh Assembly Government Tidy Towns funding.
Following the first round held in June, the submission deadline for the second round is 5pm 30 July 2010.
Projects need to support Flintshire’s Town Action Plan programme, which the County Council has adopted to address town centre regeneration priorities in Connah’s Quay, Buckley, Flint, Holywell, Mold, Queensferry and Shotton. Projects should focus on lasting improvements to the environment and measures to boost the vitality of towns.
Activities will typically involve:
- Clearance of litter and fly tipping
- Environmental Improvements
- Access Improvements
- Enhancements to biodiversity and habitats
- Positive uses for neglected sites to prevent reoccurring problems
The programme is designed for both larger and smaller scale projects:
