 Chipping Norton is one town in the running for a cash grant |
Small towns are being challenged to come up with regeneration ideas to win a share of �700,000. Nineteen of Oxfordshire's towns have the chance to see their development ideas funded by the South East England Development Agency grant.
Previous successful bids have included regenerating a railway station and setting up a credit union.
Grants of up to �120,000 are available, which will fund half of a project with the town funding the other half.
Oxfordshire County Councillor Anne Purse said: "We are working hard to make sure eligible towns take full advantage of available funding.
"Suggestions must demonstrably be able to help regenerate and develop a market town for the better."
The nineteen eligible towns are:
Benson Berinsfield Botley Burford Carterton Charlbury Chipping Norton Eynsham Faringdon Goring Henley Kidlington Thame Wallingford Wantage Watlington Wheatley Woodstock.
