How Simmondley projects could get a cash boost

A Simmondley councillor is looking for local community groups and initiatives who need an extra cash boost to get in touch with him. 

Stewart Gardner (pictured) wants to hear from anyone who is part of a group or project in Simmondley that could do with some additional funding. 

As a High Peak borough councillor, he receives a Councillors' Initiative Fund - which gives out small grants to help with the running costs of projects.

Cllr Gardner said: "Last year, I gave some money towards the Community Running Track which people use all the time on the trail, to the Mind, Body and Soul running group, to Dinting Cricket Club and other things as well. 

"If it could be of use to you, if you're interested, then please message me on my Facebook page 'Councillor Stewart Gardner for Simmondley'. 

"There is a form to fill in and various stipulations but nothing too complicated so get in touch."
