News on HS2 in Bucks & Oxfordshire

Today saw the announcement of new projects awarded funding as part of the HS2 Community and Business Funds. To date, £1.9m of funding has been awarded across the Phase One route.

In Buckinghamshire, Lee Parish Council has received over £44,000 from the Community and Environment Fund to help replace a wooden children’s fort in a children’s playground in Lee Common. The current fort is a popular piece of play equipment built 28 years ago and has undergone repair and modification so that it can continue to be used. The timbers are continuing to deteriorate and, through this funding, will now be replaced.

The community and business funds are administered and managed by independent community charity, Groundwork UK. For more information on Groundwork and the funds themselves click here.
