Green-space grants and Swindon study share focus on local spaces
A £1m grant and Morrisons Foundation funding for community spaces coincide with a Swindon study in which the town scores highly on access to green spaces.
New funding for community spaces has been announced through two separate schemes, while Swindon has scored highly in a study covering crime, life satisfaction and access to green spaces.
BBC News Gloucestershire reported a new £1m grant that local communities can use to protect threatened green spaces and wildlife sites [1][2][3]. Voscur said the Morrisons Foundation Connecting Communities grants offer up to £20,000 to charities for capital projects that improve, enhance or protect spaces in their communities [4].
BBC News Wiltshire reported that Swindon scores highly in a study covering crime, life satisfaction and access to green spaces [5]. Read together, the reports highlight green-space access as a common thread in local funding decisions and quality-of-life reporting.
