Developing Your Project

The Programme has been awarded £3.1 million between 2009 and 2014 as part of the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) to support rural community based projects and initiatives within 4 main themes.  However, we have now allocated all of the programmes resources to 53 projects across the area. 

Whilst applications are no longer being accepted for the main programme, applicants are encouraged to investigate the LEADER Small Scale Enhancements Schemes.                                                                                   

Decisions on previous applications were made at Executive Group meetings.  For details of these please check under Meetings and Agendas.
