Bassetlaw: £1m villages make plan progress

Three Bassetlaw villages awarded £1 million through Local Trust and the National Lottery are moving closer to seeing the fruit of their labour.

Under the Big Local scheme, the villages of Carlton, Costhorpe and Langold were awarded the cash in March last year, and project organisers have consulted residents to establish how to use the funds over the next 10 years.

The Big Local partnership, led by chairman Marcus Wichmann, held a fun day in Langold Country Park in early June to launch elections for the partnership and work to establish a set of priorities.
