The Council is to continue its Warm Spaces Programme again this winter, in an effort to combat the increasing cost of living.
Following evaluation of the Warm Spaces scheme that ran in 2023/24, the Council will maintain it support to residents and ensure widespread coverage across the Borough. The grant is designed to contribute towards the costs of opening up community venues, extending opening hours and/or extending existing provisions.
The period that the programme will cover is from 1st November 2024 through to 31st March 2025.
