Introduction

The Garioch and North Marr Community Safety Group is seeking applications from local community groups for the funding of community safety projects in the Garioch and North Marr areas. The Group's priority themes and those for which funding is most likely to be granted are:

• Addressing antisocial behaviour such as drunkenness, disorder, antisocial driving, etc.
• Reducing community safety problems arising from substance/alcohol misuse.
• Reducing vandalism.
• Increasing road safety in particular for the 17-25 year age group.

Projects which cover other safety issues which have been identified in a community, for example home safety and water safety, may be considered.

The minimum project cost is £100 and the maximum is £1000.

Councillor Ron McKail, Chairman of the Garioch & North Marr Community Safety Group said:

"It is very important for the Garioch & North Marr Community Safety Group to interact with and support local communities in relation to community safety and we look forward to providing financial support for local initiatives which will improve safety for communities in Garioch and North Marr."

Councillor Richard Stroud, a member of the Garioch & North Marr Community Safety Group said:

"Reducing risk through Community Safety initiatives is an important matter in all our communities. This is a unique opportunity provided through the Garioch & North Marr Community Safety Group for existing groups to obtain financial support with a local project that they believe will have safety benefits for their community."
