Bid for funding to create jobs

A BID is to be launched to bring substantial funding for rural development projects to Oxfordshire. A group representing businesses and community organisations, with support from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils, is set to apply for a share of £138million LEADER funding which is being made available to help bring about projects to boost the rural economy across the country.

The Government wants local people to fund projects that boost the rural economy and rural communities. To help with this bid for funding SODC is keen to hear from any rural business that has plans that will benefit their local area. It could be a project that creates new jobs or provides new or improved services.To find out more, visit: http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/news/2014/2014-06/bid-be-launched-funding-boost-rural-oxfordshire
