Hartlepool neighbours urged to bid for £500 to improve their street
Communities in Hartlepool are urged to apply for grants to make a positive change to their street in a new campaign.
Grassroots community organisation Pool Together is encouraging residents to bid for up to £500 as part of a new Love Your Street initiative.
It has launched an Open Contest for any street, road, grove or drive in the town that would use the funding to kickstart projects to improve their neighbourhood.
Alongside the funding, local partners will also contribute their time and resources.
The winners will come together with partners to form a Street Team, and they will help make practical plan to put it into action during a week in April.
Pool Together say it is an opportunity to get to know your neighbours and improve your surroundings.
Residents have until Saturday, February 28, to apply online stating where the money will be spent and what you want to make happen.
