The Big Lottery announced yesterday (26th Jan 2015) that SevernNet Working was one of the successful bids for support from the Coastal Communities Fund.
Just over £1.2m will be made available between now and Dec 2016 to:
- get a shuttle bus in operation across Avonmouth and Severnside
- improve the cycling and walking infrastructure between A4 Portway Park and Ride and Cabot Park along St. Andrews Road
- strengthen the provision of employment and enterprise support in Avonmouth and Lawrence Weston
- further build the business and community cooperation across the area through SevernNet.
More details will follow as they become available.
‘SevernNet Working’ is a partnership between Ambition Lawrence Weston, Avonmouth Community Centre, Bristol City Council, Knightstone Housing Association, SevernNet, S. Glos. Council and The Bristol Port Company.
We would like to thank our partners who have worked with us tirelessly over the last three years to secure this funding … and we look forward to your support over the next couple of years as we roll out the initiatives.
