Other local groups have benefited from the latest councillor grants too, including Louth Wolds Scouts who have received £250 from both Coun Sarah Dodds and Coun Philip Sturman for the purchase of tents.
Coun Sarah Dodds has also awarded £400 to the Trinity Centre in Louth to contribute towards the costs of an outing to Mablethorpe for the weekly Fish on Friday’s group. The money will also go towards additional publicity for the Credit Union group which is stationed at the centre.
