RESIDENTS living in north Richmondshire are to get their say on how millions of pounds of new European grant aid could be spent.
The district was granted Objective Two funding status by the European Union earlier this year that could release millions in grant aid for a host of projects.
Now, people in the north of the district are being invited to a public meeting at Gilling West Village Hall on Wednesday, July 26, at 7pm, to discuss the funding. The meeting aims to enlist the help of residents to establish a group that will work with economic experts to identify local needs and tackle specific issues.
Councillor John Blackie, chairman of Richmondshire District Council's economic, cultural and leisure committee, said: "This is a great opportunity for local people to contribute to the future of their communities."
