The move has been described as 'great news for North Northamptonshire'
Cultural projects across the county are in with a chance of being awarded a share of £5 million as part of a government funding project looking to uplift local organisations. North Northamptonshire Council was provisionally offered the funding through the government’s Levelling Up Fund as part of the Spring Budget.
To secure the money, NNC must complete an investment plan detailing the chosen projects and submit the document to the government by May 10. Cllr Helen Howell, NNC’s executive member for culture and tourism, said: “There are a lot of fantastic organisations that do great work throughout the whole of North Northamptonshire providing all sorts of cultural heritage projects and talks and walk and all those things that enrich our residents’ lives.
A grant scheme to support smaller capital projects will also be considered by the council. It is intended that details of this smaller grant scheme will be released later in the year. All enquiries must be sufficiently developed to ensure that the funding can be spent by March 2026.
