Coastal Communities Fund – New Applications Invited from England

The Coastal Communities Fund (CCF) is supporting the development of coastal areas, promoting sustainable economic growth and jobs, so that people are better able to respond to changing economic needs and opportunities.

The Government has committed £27.8 million to support the CCF in 2013-14 with money generated by the Crown Estate’s marine assets. The Fund is UK-wide; however, different levels of funding have been allocated to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on the basis of revenue generated.

£21.7 million funding is available in England for 2013-14 and applications for new projects are being invited from today. Individual funding awards of over £50,000 are available for projects lasting up to two years.

The funds can be used to support both capital and revenue projects and communities will be encouraged to match funds with other pots of money.

Examples of activities that may be eligible for funding include:

  • supporting skills and training initiatives to improve job prospects;
  • maintaining and developing specialised tourist infrastructure;
  • managing and adapting to flood and coastal erosion risk;
  • supporting social enterprises to bring new economic opportunities and jobs;
  • offering apprenticeships to school leavers;
  • creating new workspaces to support and grow local economies;
  • boosting local approaches to promoting enterprise and economic regeneration; and
  • supporting sustainable transport improvements.

Innovative bids will be welcomed from businesses, social enterprises, local enterprise partnerships, charities, voluntary groups and local authorities supporting economic development within the community.

Applicants with projects proposed for England are required to submit a stage one application by 13 May 2013.

Better Broadband for North Dorset – a Letter

Better Broadband for North Dorset

Better Broadband for North Dorset

Dear Resident,
 
During the last few months you have registered an interest in the Trailway to the Future broadband project, and last week we invited you to a meeting where we would explain the various ways that you could invest in the project.
 
We had our first meeting this Wednesday morning which was very well attended and generated a lot of useful Q&A and discussion.  However, a number of you had suggested that an evening meeting would be more convenient, and we have therefore arranged for a follow up session next Wednesday evening, 20th March at 6.00pm in the New Parish Rooms in Blandford DT11 7DN. The Parish Rooms are situated directly opposite the main Post Office.
 
We have set up two very straightforward means to invest on a tax-efficient basis, within the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) framework: either via a Fund, where your money is invested across a diversified range of rural broadband projects, of which The Trailways is one of the largest; or directly into North Dorset Broadband, via the www.fundthegap.com website.  The meeting on Wednesday will discuss the project itself, the investment proposition, and the mechanics of actually investing – all in a ‘user-friendly’ way!
 
The Trailways project has been community-led from the start, and its prospects will be even further enhanced if it can also be substantially community-owned.  Your support is therefore very important! 
 
We look forward to seeing you on the 20th. Please RSVP to info@northdorsetbroadband.co.uk
 
Best regards,
 
 
Steve Adamson
Project Team Leader
Trailway to the Future Project
