## Funding

Regular funding will need to be sourced to pay for equipment, maintenance and other ancillary costs.

This can probably be raised in the form of a small neighbourhood levy, or via sponsorship, or donations, or all three.

We can also apply for government assistance. The local CPF and Ward Councillor have discretionary funding which can be applied for.
