by Ally
Ally The City of Edinburgh Council have announced new funding for Park Improvements.
The grant can only be used to cover capital works (see examples below) - maintenance costs and staffing costs will not be covered.
Examples:
- Improvement of visual amenity (e.g. planters, seating, bulbs, flower beds)
- Provision of educational material for the public (e.g. leaflets, interpretation boards)
- Equipment provision to carryout practical work (e.g. gardening tools, litter pickers)
- Habitat creation and restoration (e.g. tree planting, pond creation, bird and bat boxes)
- Improvement of accessibility (e.g. path works, entrance points etc)
You can download the fact sheet here, and the application form here.
There are a number of application deadlines - The first one is 1st of June 2007. We need to get our thinking caps on... help us to decide what to apply for by filling in our on-line Leith Parks survey.
