They got the money to write the plan, I believe they wrote it but then the problem was 'match'. This is the money that most funders insist you provide yourself. So in the case of Rhyddings Park's £1m grant, the funders will provide £900k but HBC have to find the remaining 10%. So whilst the bid was written and everyone knew what needed doing but HBC had to raise the £100k. Can it be a coincidence that the Council has managed to find the 'match' money a few months before a certain Councillor is up for re-election.
