THE investigation into the way Options Information Caf in Devizes spent Lottery money is continuing this week.

The Community Fund formerly the National Lottery Charities Board is deciding whether to continue funding the Devizes charity after it lost £20,000 of Lottery money on a classical music concert at Le Marchant Barracks in August.

Only 27 people turned up for the event, and only eight of those had paid for their tickets.

Options, which runs a caf and provides computers with internet access for young people, is closed while the investigation is carried out.

In a notice on the front door of the premises in Station Road the charity says that it has no money and has no heating or internet access and the water supply has been cut off.

A Community Fund spokesman said: "The investigation is looking at whether the money that was granted under the terms of the lottery application has been spent correctly and appropriately in the terms of that application."
