Update on the Community Councils Funding Process

11^th February 2026

Annual Donations – Update to Our Funding Process

From 1 April 2026 (covering the financial year April 2026 to March 2027), Bangor on Dee Community Council will be updating how we provide financial support to local organisations.

Rather than making routine annual donations, we will be inviting groups to apply for funding through our grant application process. This allows organisations to tell us about a specific project or item they need support with, and helps us make sure public funds are used in the most effective way for our community.

As a Community Council, we have a responsibility to manage public money carefully and transparently. Moving to a grant-based system ensures that every request is considered fairly and consistently, and that we can clearly demonstrate how funding benefits local residents.

Details of our grant application process, along with application forms, can be found on our website.

The closing date for applications will be 30 September each year. If an unexpected project arises after this date, we're still happy to consider requests — these will be discussed by Full Council on a case-by-case basis.

We remain committed to supporting community initiatives and warmly welcome applications that help improve life in Bangor on Dee.

GREAT NEWS FOR BANGOR-ON-DEE! 

£43,638.34 Awarded for Village Improvements

Bangor-on-Dee Community Council has been awarded £43,638.34 from the Pride in Place Impact Fund, backed by the UK Government and administered by Wrexham County Borough Council.

This funding follows the community consultation held earlier this year, where more than 160 residents shared their views on the improvements they wanted to see in the village.

The funding will deliver:

New planters at the entrances to the village

Two picnic tables at the sports field

A new defibrillator and cabinet to replace the existing unit outside the Village Hall

Improved street lighting in three locations around the village

A new vehicle-activated speed sign to replace the non-working sign on Station Road

 Improvements to the Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at the sports field

A new shelter in Friars Field

Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation.

Your feedback has helped secure investment that will make a real difference to our community.
