TENS of thousands of pounds are set to be awarded tonight to village hall conservation.
Vale of White Horse District Council’s Faringdon Area Committee will meet to agree the recommended donations to Buckland Memorial Hall and the Thomas Hughes Memorial Hall in Uffington.
The money comes from the council’s new homes bonus: cash awarded by government for approving housing estates.
The Buckland hall is set to get £5,725 towards its £11,450 refurbishment plans, while officers have recommended the committee award the Uffington hall £6,940 towards its £20,000 roof insulation project.
Member of public are welcome to attend the meeting at the Beacon hall in Wantage from 6.30pm.
