I’m delighted to let you know that our Round 2 application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) for £9.4m towards BCLM: Forging Ahead has been successful.
This follows a meeting of the NLHF’s National Committee on Tuesday afternoon and confirmation to us from the regional office yesterday. Anecdotally, they said our application was incredibly strong, particularly our leveraging of LEP funding and our extensive community consultation.
This is excellent news and a testament to all of our hard work over the past 3 years, of which I am immensely proud.
The decision is not public knowledge at this time and due to the Restricted Period ahead of local elections on 2 May, we are under strict instructions from NLHF that we cannot make any announcements about the outcome of their decision until sometime after 3 May.
Your patience in keeping this information to yourselves for the time being is therefore hugely appreciated.
Well done all.
Andrew
