West Bridgford CIL Consultation October 2024

Rushcliffe Borough Council is seeking views from West Bridgford residents about how it should allocate local portions of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding.

This funding comes from new developments to enable local services, infrastructure and facilities to be supported in meeting the needs of a growing population, and to serve greater numbers of users.

As part of the use of these funds a percentage is set aside to be spent at a more localised level and this money is usually managed by the local Parish or Town Council.

As West Bridgford has no Parish Council the Borough Council takes on this role, but must decide how this funding is used in consultation with the local community.

Expressions of interest have recently been invited from local community groups and organisations that would have projects locally that could benefit from this funding.

Details of the eligible projects on which the Borough Council is seeking views of the community can be seen on our website along with this survey to gather feedback.

This current consultation will be open until the end of the day on Sunday 3rd November.
