COMMUNITY groups in West Oxfordshire have just hours left to bid for cash.

Entries for applications will close this evening for West Oxfordshire District Council’s community facilities grant.

The pot of money is allocated to help improve existing community facilities or pay for new ones, including village halls, play areas or sports club equipment.

Applicants can ask for up to £50,000 towards their project.

They must fill in nine pages of a form, available on the council’s website, explaining costs and accounts and details of the cause.

The signed form must be given into the council’s Woodgreen offices in Witney, or sent via email, by 5pm.
