COMMUNITIES in Bolton are being encouraged to apply for funding to create a "Doorstep Green" -- a revitalised or newly-created open space that provides areas to sit, relax, play safely, or observe and encourage wildlife.
The new initiative from the Countryside Agency is funded with £12.89 million from the New Opportunities Fund's Green Spaces and Sustainable Communities programme.
Applications need to be from groups of local people, such as residents associations or community groups. More details are available on 0845 00 00 121 or online at www.countryside.gov.uk.
