News on Southwark CIL Home

Since the summer, our Local CIL Officers have been busy evaluating your ideas.

In total, we received more than 1,000 suggestions for projects across our 23 wards. Officers have been discussing these with your local ward councillors, as well as colleagues from other departments, in order to draw-up a shortlist of those projects to recommend for funding.

The first tranche of recommended projects will go to the council's Cabinet for a decision on 8 December.

The next set of projects to be recommended for funding (from other wards) will be considered by Cabinet in the New Year.

If your project is one of those going to Cabinet in December, you will hear from your Local CIL officer, shortly. If your suggestion is in one of the wards being considered by Cabinet but you don’t hear anything back from your Local CIL Officer by the end of November then, unfortunately, it means your project is not being put forward to Cabinet.

However, it is still possible that your project could be funded from a different council budget (such as the Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund) or from a future round of Local CIL funding.

We will update you on which projects will be taken to Cabinet by 30 November.
