12.00.00am GMT Thu 30th Oct 2008

Asked by the Chair of Governors to support the schools appeal to raise £6,500 towards a capital project costing £65,000. Cllr Hughes immediately asked the county council to support the project. Today it was confirmed that his request to the county council for a contribution to the school's project to enhance the outside learning environment for Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage children had been successful. Cllr Hughes said "I am really pleased that I have some very good news to share. I have been informed that my request was successful and the county council will be making a £1800 contribution towards the £6500 needed." Once the remaining £4700 has been raised the county council will release the money. Cllr Hughes added, "I wish the school every success in raising the rest of the money. I am looking forward to receiving an application from the schools P.T.A so that I can consider using my County Councillors devolved budget scheme to help further in raising the money required".
