Richard Foord pursues Hospital funding issue in Commons question
The Seaton Hospital Steering Committee, elected at the public meeting in November, is aiming to apply to the Community Ownership Fund to support our bid to utilise the vacant wing of the Hospital. Richard Foord MP has asked a helpful question in the Commons:
Richard Foord (Tiverton and Honiton) (LD)
On the community ownership fund, it is welcome that the match funding requirements for local organisations have been reduced to 20%. In future rounds, could the criterion around match funding take account of prior investment by the community, such as the very many small donations that people in the Axe valley area gave to build Seaton community hospital?
Michael Gove
That is an interesting idea. I am very fond of the Axe valley, so I will look at it.
