The BIG Lottery Fund has been asked by the Cabinet Office to invite one bid from each ‘upper-tier’ local authority for funds for ‘Transforming Local Infrastructure.’

Third Sector Lancashire has offered to other infrastructure bodies in the geographical county a process whereby we all can reach agreement as to who the single applicant should be, on a professional, transparent and democratic basis.

As part of this, we intend to consult front-line bodies, since it is to assist them that infrastructure exists.

Please send your views ahead of the formal consultation, or ask for further information from the Chair of TSL, Mike Wedgeworth, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or on 07534.174.199
