Cleaner greener safer
Service outline
From creating award winning community gardens and playgrounds to making walkways safer, we have positive changes in your local area.
Our projects are chosen by local people who have applied for the changes they really want in their neighbourhood.
We are pleased to announce the budget for 2012/13 is £1.88m and the programme is now open to receive applications for any ideas that bring about permanent improvements in your local area, making it cleaner greener safer.
This year, applicants can ask to be considered for a grant so they can carry out the work themselves.
Apply online now - please make sure you do not miss the closing date of Friday 6 January 2012.
