Copeland continues grants to parish councils
Published: 10/02/2015
Wednesday January 21, 2015. For immediate release
COPELAND Council is to continue funding parish councils despite extreme cuts to its budget.
The council’s executive committee decided to continue the £67,000 funding for 2015/16.
The council had the option to reduce the grant by 30 per cent - the same percentage as the council’s grant from central government has been cut - to assist with budget savings of £1.65m. However councillors made the decision to continue the funding for 2015/16.
