SLDC financial support for a Tourist Information Centre

David Phillips, who is charge of the present TICs in South Lakeland has provided the following information:

£375,000 is available over the next four years to cover five centres including Ulverston,starting with £150,ooo in the first year.

He agreed that a likely split was that the amount available would diminish by a third each year and that Ulverston could get £25,000 to £30,000 in the first year falling to £8,000 to £10,000 in the fourth and final year.

The other TICs to be supported were : Kendal, Windermere, Broughton and Ambleside.

Then he states that Grange and Coniston's grant will be decided at a special grant panel meeting in October.
