CIL projects in Hampstead Town ward
Hampstead Town ward was awarded £700,000 of the proceeds of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), a tax on developers. The money must be spent on infrastructure projects that help to meet the needs of the local community. Local councillors have the final say in allocating the funds, in consultation with neighbourhood forums and local communities. In order to help councillors assess the degree of public support for particular projects that are put forward by the community, the Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum has carried out three surveys in which local residents can offer their opinions. We expect to carry out a further consultation in the next few months.
If you would like more information about CIL spending in Camden, please look at Camden's website here.
If you have a project in mind, are thinking of applying for CIL funding, and would like to be included in the next consultation, you can start by filling in a worksheet, which can be found by clicking here, and sending it to info@hampsteadforum.org
