Over 700 submitted ideas for how to use £1m Community Fund

LUKE CAMPBELL DISCUSSES AT HEYCA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING

- By ANDREW SPENCE

THE £1m Community Fund that Mayor Luke Campbell announced last month has taken a step forward after being agreed in principle by the Combined Authority's Executive Board.

The Reform UK Mayor told the Board that “over 700” people have already submitted ideas for how the money could be used.

In August, the Mayor took to social media platform X to announce the £1m fund, telling residents: “Please tell me where you want to see this money being spent. It’s all down to you.”

The website lukeasksyou.com has been set up, inviting members of the public to submit ideas for how the money should be spent.

On the website Mr Campbell writes: “I promised to work with, and for, the people of Hull and East Yorkshire when elected Mayor. I’m keeping that promise.”
