Merstham Community Directory SERVICES ON YOUR DOORSTEP LOCAL FUNDS FOR YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY TravelTravel SMART in Redhill/Reigate is a new initiative designed to provideid llocal l people l with ith more travel t l choices h i and d hhelp l ththem cut t carbon, calories and cost. It aims to make it easier for people to travel and/or reduce the need to travel by bringing services into local communities. As part of the initiative’s funding has been allocated to Merstham, local community groups and organisations can apply for money to develop projects which they believe will improve access to travel in the local area. Everyone in Merstham will then get the chance to vote for the projects they think will bring most benefit to the area. Local people know their area best, and this project puts them right at the heart of decision making. What’s available? Groups can apply to the Small Community Grant Fund for projects up to £3,000 or the Merstham Fund for projects up to £10,000. Projects must either make it easier for people to travel or bring services into the community, reducing the need to travel. In addition, projects need to achieve at least one of the following objectives: O Help people make better travel choices and improve accessibility. OImprove people’s access to jobs/skills. OEncourage people to live healthier lifestyles. Who decides? Local residents will decide which projects will receive funding at a community event. Each group submitting an application will be asked to make a short presentation to gain support for their project. Residents will have the opportunity to vote for the projects and schemes they’d like to receive funding at the event. Funding will be allocated to the projects with the highest scores until the funding has run out. Results will be announced on the day. Contents 1.
