What is this?

• The Parish Council has CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) income that we need to spend on infrastructure projects in the Parish.

• There are clear criteria for CIL investment.

• It is for the Parish Council (PC) to decide how to allocate this spending, but we want to hear the views of a wide cohort of residents.

What has happened so far?

• The Parish Council put out a general call for ideas from members of the public, approached parish clubs to encourage submissions, conducted due diligence on all ideas – and discarded some as unfeasible

• We identified some projects which could be approved at a public meeting

• We identified seven projects to be taken forward to public consultation

Completing this Survey – Guidance

• This survey is designed with simplicity in mind: Rank these projects (1 being top), and add any comments. Your comments are as important as your ranking, as we are taking a qualitative approach.

• think about the MERIT of the project rather than the COST. Many of these projects may be eligible for additional grant funding

• The details of each project can be seen online

• It is not too late to propose new ideas! (but do check out the list of ideas deemed unfeasible online)

• Bear in mind that some cost estimates may have shifted since quotations

The survey will be distributed in paper format with the next Parish Magazine, but to complete the survey and see details of the possible projects go to bit.ly/cilsurvey2025
