Council to deliver boost for grants


At their monthly February meeting, councillors voted to hand grants of £500 to the town’s Brownies and the Horncastle ChEF who prepare free packed lunches for children.
The council only considers requests every six months but Coun James Martin suggested a change to every three months would help other organisation who might need help.

Councillors agreed to bring forward the annual policy review.
Coun Dominic Hinkins said: “These are difficult times and we can provide much needed funding for organisations like the Brownies who might not be able to raise money themselves.”
