Leicestershire Together, which is partnership between voluntary and statutory organisations have made a budget of £20,000 available for each Have Your Say Community Forum area.

This funding will be allocated in a new, participatory way of making decisions about funding, with residents and community groups making spending proposals and voting on them.

At this workshop residents and community groups shared and discussed their ideas and then voted for their favourites to prioritise them.

The results of the voting are attached below.

A district-wide task group will now look in more details at the ideas and proposals to check the costings and ensure they are feasible. The task group will feed back at the next Broughton Astley Have Your Say meeting in June.

The next meeting of the Broughton Astley 'Have Your Say' Forum will take place on Wednesday 17th March at Thomas Estley College at 7pm.

Regular agenda items will include:
- Update from the Police on local policing matters
- Question Time

People can also find out how they can be involved in deciding how £20,000 is spent in Broughton Astley to support vulnerable and young people, to improve access to services & facilities and to support communities interested in their local area.
