… local decisions about local services
Your Board has set priorities for local transport schemes, chosen locations for new grit bins, decided where to reduce unnecessary street lighting and prioritised the areas to consult for Residents Parking schemes. In the coming months, more decisions about local council services will be made by your Board - here in Salisbury.
…helps fund Community Projects
Since October, the Board has given grants to:
- Silver Surfers Club in Harnham
- the Life Education Centre, helping primary school children combat peer pressure and bullying, and avoid alcohol and drug misuse
- Street Survival Packs for homeless people
- Rainbow Rooms UK
- Youth work and a holiday club on the Friary
- the Salamander project, giving young people a taste of being a fire- fighter.
