Newport East MP Jessica Morden has called on the UK government to ensure Wales receives not a penny less than it did before the UK left the European Union.
BARROW Council is calling on the community to help secure a £3 million boost. Town Hall staff are working on a bid for the funds from the Community Renewal Fund and want businesses, education providers, voluntary and community groups to get involved. Its plan is to deliver a collaborative application for funding, which they say will help drive new initiatives and projects. A spokesperson for Barrow Borough Council said: “One of our strongest assets locally is our deep and meaningful community links, and we have witnessed the power of these over the last 12 months, as groups, businesses and individuals have worked hand in hand to deliver a whole host of services and support during the pandemic. We want to build on this strong collaboration by putting together a bid that is owned by the community for the community.
Cllr Andrew Lee CRAVEN organisations with innovative ideas to invest in their areas are being urged to bid for the Community Renewal Fund. Applications for funding which will support businesses, communities and which will support people into employment are being invited by North Yorkshire County Council. Councillor Andrew Lee, executive member for business growth and economic development, said: “This new funding stream will enable organisations to pilot initiatives which will benefit their communities. “We are looking for innovative responses to local challenges, recognising the needs of residents in hard to reach parts of the county which can be delivered by the end of March 2022.”

FOR the 21st century, it still needs to be proved that those UK prime ministers who are also English Tories can come to Scotland whenever they feel like it; walk along the streets and shopping precincts, shake hands with the locals, kiss babies and generally act as normal human beings, so far as this is possible for any politician. In Scotland, of course, all these are activities that cannot be brought here by English–Tories-cum-prime-ministers, or not at least without an escort of police and an entourage of tame paid-up party hacks summoned to show loyal support by the flaunting of Union Jacks. It is even better to do this on a chilly afternoon with an international rugby match going on at the same time in an adjacent city, so that there are rival attractions for any dissidents. I have this on the authority of Boris Johnson, who came here on just such an errand last weekend.
