5. Projects funded in 2013/2014
Parishes Together Funding is the sum of £1.10 per elector in each parish that is put by us and Devon County Council into a pot that the parishes can then apply for. Parishes have to work together to apply for the funding. Our new homes bonus panel regularly meets to decide on the applications. The following table is a list of funding that has been approved by the New Homes Bonus Panel in 2013/ 2014, this totals £155,558.73 which will be spent on community projects. There was £114,786.10 available in the Parishes Together Fund from 2013/2014, we have allocated 83 per cent of this funding, which is amazing. In addition there was money available that was leftover from the fund in 2012/2013 which the New Homes Bonus Panel could distribute this year.
