Good news and bad news on the scheduled Folkestone West & Sandgate "You Decide" day at Pent Valley School this Saturday, which has unfortunately had to be cancelled.
The "You Decide" days are designed to give the local community a say on which groups and organisations they want to see funded from the bids submitted. Running now for three years in Folkestone west, for this years event, there was £10,000 available, with up to £1,000 per bid. Unfortunately, at the close of applications for grants, there had been nine bids in total - meaning that every bid on the day would be successful.
