How might £10,000 make your area a better place?

RESIDENTS of Warrington are being invited to a series of “community conversations” to decide how £10,000 could help make their area better.

The money would come from Police and Crime Commissioner John Dwyer’s Community Cashback Fund.

To determine what is needed locally and where funding should go, a series of Community Conversations will be held – the first at Warrington Town Football Club on November 24 at 7pm

The Community Cashback Fund is a pot of £90,000 from which £10,000 will be allocated to areas within Warrington.
Mr Dwyer said: “Through the Community Cashback Fund we’re going to ensure that the ill-gotten gains of criminals are instead used to improve the communities affected by their actions.
“This Community Conversation is your chance to make a real difference. So, if you’ve got ideas about how to make your area an even better place, make sure you sign up for this first event and get involved.”

After each initial Community Conversation event, a panel made up of local people will be set up to co-ordinate any agreed actions and consider the issues raised. The group will also carry out further research into potential solutions which can be implemented with the funding.
Further down the line, this panel will review all Community Cashback Fund applications to ensure that they meet the criteria and can be put forward for public voting for the local community to decide where the funding will be spent.
