Transforming Local Infrastructure in the county

Fourth meeting of the day: 1400 at Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL). This si the second part of today's  meeting to discuss Transforming Local Infrastructure, the latest tranche of money to be released by The Big  Fund. If you want to find out more about The Big Fund and what it's funding in a big way, faithful reader, then visit the Transforming Local Infrastructure website. I'm not going to try and explain how this one works here - my head hurts enough trying to understand it myself.

As well as ourselves and VAL, there are ten infrastructure service support groups represented here this afternoon, each of which has expressed an interest in this bid:

• Communities in Partnership (CIP)
• East Midlands Racial Equalities Consortium (EMREC)
• Imagine LeicesterShire
• Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation
• Leicestershire Centre for Integrated Living (LCIL)
• Leicestershire Ethnic Minority Partnership (LEMP)
• The Race Equality Centre (TREC)
• Voluntary Action Charnwood
• Rural Community Council
• Voluntary Action Melton

This is the second of two meetings at VAL on this topic today. The morning meeting looked at a potential bid for this funding in relation to the city; the afternoon meeting is doing the same, but for the county.
