Accelerator Projects
In August 2020, the Glastonbury Town Deal Board submitted proposals to make use of £500k of ‘accelerator funding’ that was made available to address issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. This funding was available to Glastonbury because it is one of the 101 towns earmarked to benefit from the government’s £3.6bn Towns Fund.
Five projects were agreed, as outlined below. Click on the images to find out more about what these entailed and the benefits they are already bringing for the local community.
