MP slams fund bias and calls for aid to village halls


by Natalie Cox THE .Ribble Valley's MP has


■ called for more funding to sup­ port the building and renovation


of village halls. ’ -• £ •' • • Mr Nigel Evans described these ha lls as "an increasingly v i ta l


‘ resource" for community life in his constituency.


r "


" He was speaking after learning that the National Lottery's Community Fund had cut its funding from £32m. to £17m. each year. Mr Evans expressed his support for the lobby of Parliament by. the National Village


‘Halls Forum. • ' As well as decreasing funding for


village halls, the fund has also shown a bias against war veterans' groups. As a result, Mr1 Evans called for a special


donation to be given to these groups in the run-up to Armistice Day. Said the MP: "With the accelerat­


ing demise of the post offices under the present Government, our village halls are becoming an increasingly vital resource for the Ribble Valley community life. Yet they are facing a series of new burdens, such as fire, access and health and safety regula­ tions. Many built in the 1930s onwards are also in need of extensive


renovation. . "However, the National-Lottery's


Community. Fund has slashed fund­ ing for village halls, and has diverted resources to highly controversial political causes. Such political dona­ tions are damaging the reputation of the Lottery and harming all chari­


ties." Mr Evans called for new guidelines


for the Community Fund. He said:


"We want more funding to support the creation and renovation of village halls across the Ribble Valley - rather than see money wasted on controver­ sial political campaigning. "As we approach Remembrance


Sunday, I call upon the Community, Fund to fast track the applications that is has received from organisations working with war veterans. The fund should right the terrible bias it has shown recently and; make a major award to the people th a t fought to protect our freedoms." Added Mr Evans: "We owe a masr


sive debt of gratitude to former old soldiers, sailors and airmen. At this time of reflection and thanksgiving for the sacrifices th a t they made,'it is right th a t the Community Fund should honour those who risked life and limb to protect our communities."
