Residents ideas invited on spending cash
Published Date:

Leaflets will be sent to homes asking residents for their ideas on how to spend a pot of council money set aside for the community.
Councillors representing Tring Central will post the questionnaire to every home in the ward asking for ways that the £8,000 can be spent.
The cash has been made available by Dacorum Borough Council under a new Councillors Community Fund. Launched in 2007, it gives each councillor £2,000 a year to spend on projects within their wards.
Councillors Denise Rance and Nick Hollinghurst have carried over their cash from last year, which means they now how a bumper amount to spend.
They have joined forces to make sure they seek out the best community projects to give to.
Several people have already come forward with suggestions following an article in The Gazette last month (September). However, Cllr Rance and Cllr Hollinghurst want to make sure they collect as many ideas as possible.
Cllr Rance said: "We want to hear the people's ideas as they are the taxpayers after all.
"We are going to collect the leaflets and see what ideas we can and can't do because there are a lot of rules we have to abide by."
The full article contains 209 words and appears in n/a newspaper.
