All the above were checked by the Ward support officer and the Council Authorities and they give feed backs where required to the WAB or Ward Committee./Public
The 3 Oscott Councillors work very Closely with the Oscott Ward Advisory Board members before agreeing the above.We are also instructing Council officers to process and implement the spending of the funding ASAP.

Any further information can be gained by reading Oscott Ward Committee minutes or ringing 675 2349.
Hopefully the above information helps show the things funding may be given for. However there will be more competition then ever this year for funding.
Please bear in mind there will be a major reduction in the Community Chest in the future.
 If you or your group/organisation  would like to make a bid for funding from this years community Chest please ring 675 2349 BEFORE THE END OF MARCH.
