SEVERAL groups are reaping the rewards of the latest round of neighbourhood group meetings.
The meetings are held so residents can have the chance to discuss local and town-wide issues with their neighbours, councillors and senior council officers.
At each meeting, residents can donate a certain amount of money from their budgets to a good cause.
Redditch Council gives the groups £1,000 a year to spend however they wish within the community.
At Church Hill, £300 was given to the neighbourhood alliance to fund the production of a community wall hanging for the Church Hill Centre.
Generous Headless Cross residents gave £875 for a memorial stone, £100 to Southcrest Woods and £400 for landscaping projects.
Lakeside and St George's residents kindly agreed to buy a bouquet of flowers for a regular attendee at the meeting who had been ill.
At Lodge Park, residents gave £300 to buy benches in Southcrest Woods and £400 to replace stolen cookers and lights for the Scouts.
Matchborough residents gave £400 to Redditch Wheels Project and £700 to allotments in the area.
The town centre neighbourhood group gave £300 to Southcrest Woods and Winyates gave £500 to Winyates Green allotments.
