Councillor Phil Bundy said: “The Nursling and Rownhams May Fair has been a prominent day in the local calendar for several years now and our residents enjoy the combination of modern and traditional activities. We are very pleased that we have been able to support this popular community event.”
Test Valley Borough Council’s Councillor Community Grant scheme helps to fund community-led initiatives that are identified as meeting a need in the community, based on feedback from residents.
