AFTER a public vote, nearly 60 projects have won funding from Argyll and Bute Council’s Supporting Communities Fund.
Earlier this year, local groups and organisations posted their project ideas on a website created specifically for the fund, of how they could use potential funding of up to £2,500 per project to benefit the local community. There are four funds available – one for each council administrative area.
In April, residents were given the chance to vote for which projects they would like to see funded. A total of 4,686 people voted and voting closed at midnight on April 30.
