Tax fund fills up again

A SCHEME that gives money from landfill tax to community groups has increased the maximum grant available.

In recent years, Waste Recycling Environmental (WREN) has awarded funding to projects across the Capital, including improvements to Montgomery Street Park and Saughton Park. The maximum grant available has now been increased from £50,000 to £75,000.

A limited number of applications can be considered within each round, leading to the introduction of a 12-month break between each phase.
