Mr. Robertson

Kate Hoey

1,429 applications for National Lottery grants have been received from Gloucestershire since the inception of the Lottery; 212 have been received from Tewkesbury. Both figures exclude applications to the Millennium Commission, and the figure for Tewkesbury also excludes applications to the Arts Council of England, as these bodies do not hold information in the form requested.
