Pembrokeshire County Council is urging organisations and community groups to apply for the final round of Enhancing Pembrokeshire grants before the looming deadline.

The deadline is Monday, November 22, so the council is encouraging those who have thought about applying to do so prior to the closing date.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s cabinet will meet in January next year to make its final decision.

The Enhancing Pembrokeshire grant uses funds raised via the Second Homes Tax, to provide funding for new projects that help address the negative impact of second homes – and in doing so adds value to communities.

Cllr Bob Kilmister, the cabinet member for finance, said: "I would urge organisations and groups to get in touch and take this opportunity to improve and enhance the services they provide.

"This fund has been critical to so many projects and has helped to develop incredible and worthwhile initiatives."

Examples of current projects include:

  • Neyland Community Hub Community Interest Company - £46,150
  • Skrinkle Park Play Area - £9,741
  • Clydau Communty Council - £12,611 split between the three wards of Crymych, Boncath and Clydau
  • Fishguard Sports AFC - £13,600
  • Cantabile Singers of Pembrokeshire - £2,377
  • The Tenby Talking Newspaper - £5,240

Cllr Kilmister adds: "This round is the final of the current administration so it is even more important to get involved and engage with the process. If you have any questions about how the scheme works please contact the email below and one of the team will call you back and talk you through the process."
