A COMMUNITY Project is to benefit from a share of £150,000 made available to community groups in Denbighshire.

At its meeting in Llangollen, Councillors awarded a grant of £50,000 to the Llangollen Partnership for improvements to Riverside Park, including the provision of play and skateboarding areas, drainage and landscaping.

The council has made a block allocation of £330,000 in its capital plan for 2005/06 to support community capital projects.

Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Rhiannon Hughes, said: 'We are delighted to be in a position to help this project that will improve the quality of life for residents and visitors to the county.

'There is more funding available from the council's Community Capital Projects fund and we would encourage any community group in Denbigh-shire wanting to apply for funding to get their applications in as quickly as possible.'

The deadline for further applications is May 31.
