A whole host of local projects have received a much-needed boost thanks to financial contributions from borough councillors.

Our Ward Improvement Initiative Scheme (WIIS) gives each of our 39 councillors £500 to spend on local projects throughout the year.

Our Ward Improvement Initiative Scheme is all about funding small projects in local areas to benefit active communities.

Councillors Susan Brown, Rabbi Alan Plancey and Gary Silver from Borehamwood Brookmeadow ward and Cllr Victor Eni from Borehamwood Kenilworth ward have together allocated £700 to the local Rotary Club which will go towards hall hire for the annual schools' art exhibition.
