South Central had a participatory budgeting event on 30th April – simply put local projects vied for local votes to be awarded community grant money. Also road projects in the area were voted on and also environmental projects in and around Council housing within the South Central Neighbourhood Partnership area. On the day we had at least 218 members of the public come through the doors and over 500 votes cast.  This is brilliant for the event on its first outing.
