£1000 grant received from our county councillor for repairs to the graveyard wall
We have just been told that the parish’s application for a grant from County Councillor Richard Hosking’s Locality Fund has been successful for which we are extremely grateful. The application was made back in March, prior to the recent elections, and will help meet the costs of repairs to the graveyard wall and gates at St Lawrence church, Bigbury.
The project is about maintaining what is arguably the most important asset of the parish, its graveyard, in a respectable and presentable condition that is ‘fit for purpose’. Many, if not most, parishioners will have a need for use of the graveyard at some time in their lives, either for themselves, for relatives or for friends. However, this delicate subject is usually overlooked or taken for granted and the supporting infrastructure of the graveyard (gates, walls, etc.) can become dilapidated over time; hence, the need for these repairs now, after decades of neglect.
A funding offer from Charterlands District Councillor, Lindsay Ward
Dear Bigbury Parishioners,
As your district councillor I currently hold a fund for £2000 for me to spend across the four parishes of Charterlands. Now this might not sound like a lot, but over the years I have been able to award small grants to many little projects or ideas which have gone on to make a big difference in the lives of people and which would not otherwise get funding. If you, or a group you are involved with, feel you have an idea or a project and need some money then please this just give me a call on 01548 831078 or email on Cllr.LWard@southhams.gov.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes,
Lindsay
