In accordance with our 3 year plan for the St James Street area, we have four themes that local people voted for; People, Places, Business and Charity.

Through the St James Street Big Local grants scheme we hope to address the priorities for those themes.

St James Street Big Local priorities 

• Creating a more inclusive space for local residents
• Transforming the urban realm
• Growing the local economy and encouraging entrepreneurship
• Supporting local community and charitable initiatives

The Deadline for Application is December 17th 2017
