Better Neighbourhood Grants

The Spelthorne Better Neighbourhoods Grant Scheme gives each borough councillor a budget of £500 to allocate to projects in their ward during 2012-13.

The scheme aims to help the Council work better with the local community and improve well-being for residents at the same time. It funds small projects such as improvements to the local environment or support for community groups.

How funds are allocated

There is no direct application process for projects/groups since the scheme is designed to promote the role of councillors in the community and they will decide how to allocate their budgets based on their local knowledge. However, councillors would be pleased to discuss the needs of any small, local projects that would benefit from support through the scheme.
