£853,000 through the Government’s Capital Challenge Bid has failed.
The borough council’s bid to raise

Officer, Mrs Pat Ward, commented on the Capital Challenge Bid rejection. She said: “As we did not expect to be successful, we can hardly be disappointed. However, it does highlight a potential shortfall in our bid
