Question from Councillor Helen Greensmith

 

Having had their request for Community Infrastructure Levy money turned down for the Davison development, at the top of Catfoot Lane, could the Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy please help me to best guide my residents, by way of funding opportunities they qualify for, to instigate a park renovation for the people of Lambley?”

Minutes:

A question was received from Councillor Greensmith, as follows:

 

“Having had their request for Community Infrastructure Levy money turned down for the Davison development, at the top of Catfoot Lane, could the Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy please help me to best guide my residents, by way of funding opportunities they qualify for, to instigate a park renovation for the people of Lambley?”

 

Response by Councillor Hollingsworth

 

“As a point of clarification, the request was not turned down, her ward is ineligible for CIL funding and officers have already confirmed this to the applicant several times. I will however, confirm some funding that residents may want to investigate:

 

1.            Notts County Council Local Communities fund – requires 50% match funding https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/media/4307230/lcf-revenue-and-capital-guidance-for-applicants.pdf. Cllr Elliot may be able to assist you with any applications as he is the county councillor for that area.

 

2.            FCC Communities (formerly known as WREN) https://fcccommunitiesfoundation.org.uk/funds/fcc-community-action-fund. The council have successfully applied for this funding on various occasions for various playground refurbishments our park refurbishments. A 10.75% contributory fund is required for the amount that is applied for, i.e. if the Parish Council applying for the maximum amount of £100k they will need to find £10,750 for this contributory fund.

 

3.            Severn Trent Community Fund – requires 10% match funding https://www.stwater.co.uk/content/dam/stw/about_us/community-fund/community-fund-application-guidance-document.pdf

 

4.            Raising the parish council precept to fund desired projects”
