Cabinets have approved Small Community Capital Projects grant funding
totalling £61,400, following recommendations made by local residents at
special events held at Dover District Neighbourhood Forum meetings
during September and October.
Local voluntary and community organisations were invited to apply to the
Dover District Neighbourhood Forums for grants of up to £2,500 for
capital projects that could show real benefit to the community.
The Forums piloted Participatory Budgeting, an innovative way of
allocating funding that directly involved local people in recommending
how the Small Community Capital Projects grant fund was awarded in their
area.
The Neighbourhood Forums held special “You decide” events where local
groups gave three-minute presentations on their project, and residents
voted electronically on how they scored each one. The top scoring
projects were recommended for funding, subject to approval by KCC and
DDC Cabinets.
Funding went to a wide variety of projects including upgrading and
renovating a range of community facilities, providing replacement
fencing, sports equipment, workshop equipment, new public seating,
notice boards, a portable generator and security lighting.
