Roadmender has lost its Arts Council grant

Northamptonshire County Council's cabinet committee decided to stop the annual grant to the Roadmender Centre.

The decision taken on Monday follows a county council review of the venue's business plan.

Roadmender, which organises community projects as well as promoting rock bands, recently lost its �110,000 annual Arts Council grant.

Roadmender's director Jon Gloersen had told the BBC that the county had been a great support to the venue, but it would be left in a "difficult position" if funds were cut.
