New funding bid
Bishopthorpe Millennium Tust has bid for £10 000 of Ward Committe funding for the Bishopthorpe@Crossroads project - and the message from the City Council is vote when you can to get the money.
Speaking at the launch of Bishopthorpe@Crossroads, Councillor David Livesley made it clear that funding from the Council would only come to the village if people voted for it.
The bid, aimed at starting off the Bishopthorpe@Crossroads scheme once designs have been approved by villagers, is put to the vote this month when the ward newsletter arrives on our mats. There will be a voting paper listing suggestions made by people and organisations across the Ward area - including from villages across the river Ouse.
John Bettridge, chair of the Millennium Trust, said that voting for the village centre improvement scheme here will allow a planned approach to enhancements that meet the needs of all villagers.
Final decisions on which bids to fund are made at a Ward commmittee meeting held on 6th October. This is a public meeting at which council staff and Councillors listen to proposals before allocating funding to the voted on bids.
