The Local Action Group was formed in Spring 2016 to develop the Strategy for North of Tyne CLLD and involve local communities in the CLLD concept. The Group now drives the delivery of the CLLD programme: designs calls for projects, selects projects to get funding from CLLD and continues to make links with local communities.
We have recently advertised for new members to join the group from April 2018. We have received a number of applications and the LAG are looking forward to meeting everyone and welcoming new members.
