£2.9m available for community projects in Lewisham - deadline for submissions 21st November

Ah nice thanks for the share, yeah mirroring my thoughts. Printing service is pretty handy, although why you should have to print these days is such an annoyance. Conveyancing really needs to modernise too.

No that’s true… Although my fiancé did single handily stop some highway traffic forcing its way through end of Devonshire when it was a closed road a few years ago now. As some drivers thought it didn’t apply to them. A high vis, verbal presence and mobile phone worked wonders when they were trying to move all the barriers & fencing to get through. Although he didn’t need funding to do that😂
My sector/expertise/vision is an educational one for primary age children, delivered by me. That’s why I asked if individuals, can apply.
However I didn’t see the date for applications had passed.
If I wanted to pursue this further to try and secure funding or a grant when they arise who would I need to speak to for help?

Please thank your fiancé for me. That closure was the best ever two months for residents of Devonshire Road, Woodcombe Crescent, Ewelme Road and others. That closure was carried out for Thames Water, but perhaps we should have bid in this scheme to close it permanently.
