Welcome to Leader 4

Leader 4 Torridge and North Devon is a programme with a £3.8 million grant to provide project funding and development support to improve the economy, environment and quality of life in rural areas. This programme is funded by a European grant from the Common Agricultural Policy and by Defra. It is overseen by the South West Regional Development Agency.    

Support will be available for innovative, sustainable and high quality projects that meet the Leader 4 aim and objectives. The programme area includes all of rural Torridge and North Devon districts except for the six central wards that make up Barnstaple Town (Pilton, Yeo Valley, Forches & Whiddon Valley, Newport, Longbridge and Central Town). The map below shows the extent of the Leader 4 area.
