Replying to his queries, KCC outlined in its report at the meeting that its community team 'has been engaging with the local community group and has visited the old Health Centre site in Carbury village, along with the facilities

team, to assess the amount of work required so that the building can be used by the local

community.'

FUNDING

The council further said that its community team is working with the local group, to make a funding application for the project from the recently launched Community Centres Investment Fund (a new capital fund of €15 million which will provide funding for the improvement and refurbishment of existing community centres in both urban and rural areas).

"Once funding has been identified, work will commence on the building so that it can be

used by the community as soon as possible," KCC added.
