Durham County Council is one of a select few Local Authorities that will benefit from millions more funding to help support rural business and community groups. I want to turbocharge rural investment and productivity, and this extra £3.5 million+ aims to do exactly that.
We have so many fantastic local rural businesses that need a helping hand from time to time. I want to help celebrate and shine a light on all the fantastic work that they do to help keep rural life ticking, but this extra money from the Government is also needed to help support them.
If you, or anyone you know, could benefit from this money please email the dedicated email at Durham County Council (ukspf@durham.gov.uk) to find out more.
Under previous Governments, it felt like our rural communities were ignored. It is great to see that this is no longer the case.
