Grants will normally be awarded for equipment costs for associated costs e.g. disposal costs, signage, dog / litter bins, promotional activities for reasonable professional fees which are directly incurred in respect of the project concerned. In addition professional fees will only be considered where consultation has taken place with the appropriate Council Service. What is not eligible?
