Two groups receive cash boost from March Town Council – but more should apply say councillors.

The grants, totalling £10,000, will be used to support the organisations’ ongoing work and development. FACT, which provides transport services for people with disabilities and the elderly, will receive £5,000. This funding will be used to purchase new vehicles and improve the existing fleet. The Friends of March Railway Station, a group dedicated to restoring and maintaining the station, will receive £5,000. This funding will be used to purchase new signage and improve the station’s overall appearance.

The event was a free community event, but the council is now considering charging a small fee for future events. This decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some residents are happy to pay a small fee for access to the events, while others are concerned about the potential impact on participation. The council is currently exploring different options for charging, including a tiered system, where different levels of access are offered at varying prices. The council is also considering a system where attendees are charged a flat fee for the entire event, regardless of the number of activities they participate in.

1. “Both of these are absolutely worth it.”

This statement suggests that the councillor is advocating for two specific organizations, implying that they are both valuable and deserving of support.
