…. Sadly beyond enthusiasts the public interest in spending money on that is always less than what is needed….
On this train of thought one of my biggest personal gripes is that very few funding bodies will actually provide meaningful grants for the most basic of amenities – waste treatment. Not every site has the opportunity to connect to mains sewage and approved alternatives are costly.
A couple of Landfill Tax related grant providers will fund such projects, but the 10 mile rule can be restrictive. Recent investigations have shown that one such body will at the present time only fund projects like village halls with a high community involvement, while another doesn’t support museum projects.
