District councillors are being given £500 each to spend on community projects.

Malvern Hills District Council’s ward budget scheme allows councillors to give financial assistance to projects and get more involved in their communities.

In the last financial year, £13,000 was given to more than 50 projects across the district.

The new scheme for 2023/24 opened on July 24.
