—————————————————————————————

In February, applications were open for ideas for local infrastructure projects which could be funded by CIL money, which is money the local authority can receive from local housing developments.

Now residents and councillors prioritise which applications should go forward. Read more about this here, or read about the whole process here: Area committee funding process.

What is CIL Money?

When houses are built the local authority, i.e. Bristol City Council, can take an infrastructure levy. This means they get money from developers to offset the impact of the development. This money can go toward providing services for those new homes, whether that’s for roads, social care, community policing etc. A small percentage of this infrastructure levy is made available to communities to identify projects that they would like to see happen. The projects must relate to infrastructure needs in the area e.g. provision of local services, play areas, transport issues, public footpaths, litter bins etc - and they are usually capital projects or ‘things you can kick’ although they are sometimes also public art projects.
