Lack of cash take-up for Tour de France grants plus what’s on for the weekend

Less than a quarter of the Tour de France funding available to local groups has been claimed to date.

Richmondshire District Council set up a £20,000 Tour De France fund five months ago to help support the many activities being planned across the district to make the Grand Depart event the very best spectator experience on July 5.

But to date only £4,700 has been allocated

The grant available is for a maximum of £500 and application forms are available here.

And if you’re organising an event to celebrate the Tour de France, don’t forget we have a free noticeboard to help promote it online, on Twitter @RichmondNYorks, Facebook and the daily newsletter. Post your event directly here
