A number of local projects have received funding from the National Lottery.

Montgomery, Four Crosses and Llanfechain will all benefit from funding, with Montgomeryshire as a whole receiving £142,332 in the latest round of announcements.

Local Assembly Member, Russell George, said: “I would like to congratulate all of the local groups who have secured National Lottery funding for their projects.

“I'm very much looking forward to visiting the different projects to see how this invaluable National Lottery funding is invested for the benefit of the people of Montgomeryshire and I congratulate the dedicated local people who applied and were successful in securing this investment for their communities.”
