Council cash helps light up village: Owston Ferry Community Tree and Lights Committee secures grant for electrical upgrade

Comments Off on Council cash helps light up village: Owston Ferry Community Tree and Lights Committee secures grant for electrical upgrade

Residents and visitors to Owston Ferry can enjoy the festive lights throughout the village thanks to essential electrical upgrades that have been carried out.

Owston Ferry Community Tree and Lights Committee received £8,946 Community Grant funding from North Lincolnshire Council.

This funding upgraded three feeder light pillars to improve reliability and safety, ensuring the continued success of the village’s seasonal decorations and community events, including the recent Christmas lights switch-on.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We are always delighted to support community groups like Owston Ferry Community Tree and Lights Committee. The committee works hard to provide decorations in the village and events for all the community to get involved in, creating a real sense of community pride.

“The electrical upgrades have ensured the much-loved festive lights continue to work for many years to come.

“The Community Grant Fund is about communities – helping them develop, thrive and support others.”

The committee also allocated £993 from their own fund for the improvement work.

Since launching in 2011, the Community Grant Fund has pumped millions into grassroots projects across the region – from sports clubs and youth groups to charities and parish councils – helping to strengthen communities and support local talent.

Grants are available for junior and youth groups, charitable bodies, co-operatives, not-for-profit organisations, and individuals demonstrating excellence in sport, art, or culture. Support is also available for venue hire, helping keep community spaces open and active.

Find out how a grant can make a difference to your neighbourhood on the community grants page of our website.
