THE Milton Rooms in Malton has been given a grant to enable better access to the facility,

The £2,000 grant was given by the One Stop Stores 'Carriers for Causes' for a replacement ramp to enable safe access by the public to the Milton Rooms.

‘Carrier for Causes’ awards grants of up to £2,000 to give good causes within a two mile radius of any of One Stop Stores to support projects that benefit local communities.

The grants are funded through the money raised from the 5p bag charge in One Stop Stores.

Barbara Murray, Trustee of the Milton Rooms, said they were very grateful for the donation from the One Stop Store in Norton.

"The previous, very old ramp did not meet current Health and Safety regulations so this grant has been very gratefully received," she added.
