Amanda updated that huge progress has been made on this project and she thanked all involved for their hard work and commitment.
The funding allocation to the various organisations is in process and works are due to commence shortly at some of the venues.
Community worker at Space@Field Lane
An interview of an individual took place for the Community worker position at Space but their experience wasn’t deemed suitable for this post. Space has obtained additional funding from another source. It was suggested that Danny be employed by Space and work reduced hours for Rastrick Big Local until around March 2025. This is currently being given further consideration by both parties.

The Space@Field Lane and Field Lane School are liaising on this project.
