Councillor grants for community groups – apply now!

Clubs and groups across East Hampshire can apply for a grant from their local councillor.

Each district councillor is allocated a budget to support not for profit organisations within their ward.

East Hampshire District Council entrusts each of its members with £4,500 funding pot to give to projects and organisations in their own patch.

Community groups have until the end of February 2024 to apply for a grant up to £1,000 for projects with a charitable goal or which is of benefit to the community.

As part of the council’s drive to improve the environmental performance of the district, £1,000 must be used on projects which raise awareness of climate change, reduce waste or otherwise have a positive impact on the environment.

To apply visit www.easthants.gov.uk/councillor-community-grant-scheme and speak to your local councillor or Community Development Officer.

EARLY BIN COLLECTIONS FROM JUNE 21st 2023

With the current sweltering heat during the day, EHDC have been working hard to avoid heat exhaustion in our crews, with lots of additional water and breaks during the day.

Working on a bin crew is a tiring job at the best of times, but in temperatures over 20ºC for most of the day, it can become unsafe.

That’s why EHDC have decided to start collecting bins earlier in the morning, so the crews have a better chance of being finished before the hottest part of the day.

Crews may be leaving the depot at around 5am, so please ensure that your bin is out the night before your collection day.

Early collections will begin TOMORROW (Wednesday 21 June).

Thank you for your understanding.

If your bin collection is missed, report it here.
