Councillors were approached by Crowland Show organisers after the organisation providing medial cover for the show had to withdraw at short notice. The only alternative was for organisers to hire a private medial firm to provide the cover, as without this in place the show could not go on.
Councillors Bryan Alcock, Jim Astill and Angela Harrison collectively have donated £500 from their designated ward budgets towards the additional costs involved.
Another example of Councillor ward budgets being used for what they were intended for, helping local organsiations and community groups.
