Community Infrastructure Levy Funds

The Parish Council is asking for proposals from residents for spending our CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) funds. There is currently around £20,000 available.

If you have a community project suitable for support through these funds,  

please put a proposal together outlining why funding is needed and how much is required. The CIL committee of the Parish Council will consider all applications at its next meeting.

CIL money is for the benefit of Wickham Skeith as a whole to improve the life of the community. CIL monies can be used to support the development of the local area to fund:

(a) the provision, improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure; or

(b) anything else that is concerned with addressing the demands that development places on an area.

“Infrastructure” includes physical, social and green infrastructure

Closing date 15 August 2026

Please send all proposals to clerk@wickhamskeith-pc.gov.uk
