Cleaner Greener Safer 2013/14 – Launch of capital and revenue programmes
Fitzroy Lewis, Community Councils Development Officer, explained that this year’s programme had been launched. There was a capital and a revenue fund available for local groups to apply for. Dulwich Community Council had £268,571 to spend on capital projects and £30,000 on revenue projects. Application forms were available from the team, and on the Southwark website. The deadline for applications was Friday 30 November 2012. Contact: cgs@southwark.gov.uk or Tel. 020 7525 1259
Community Council Fund 2012/13
Fitzroy Lewis explained that a second round of this fund had opened for College and Village wards, as they had not allocated their full amounts in the first round. Application forms were available. College had £3,663 available to allocate and Village £3,097. The deadline was Tuesday 16 October 2012. It was for projects taking place between December 2012 and March 2013.

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Project Banks
Fitzroy Lewis explained that the CIL was a new levy that councils could charge on new developments in the area. The money raised could be used to support the development by funding infrastructure projects that the council and local community wanted. It would replace the section 106 process. There would be further consultation on the draft charging schedule, and a discussion at future public meetings in 2013.
The existing project banks were being revised and residents were invited to submit ideas for the project bank. General publicly accessible facilities could be considered. An updated project bank list would be reported to community councils annually.
The deadline for suggestions was 17 October 2012.

Dulwich Supplementary Planning Document
A revised version of the current draft Dulwich Supplementary Planning Document (2009) was currently being prepared to reflect recent changes in national, regional and local planning policy and would be consulted on in January 2013. The item would be discussed at the January 2013 community council meeting.
Community Restoration Fund – youth element
Fitzroy explained that this fund was about supporting young people. It was a one-off fund set up by Southwark following the London disturbances of August 2011. It was to restore community pride and deliver long term solutions for businesses and young people. Community and voluntary organisations could bid for the local grant pots. The Dulwich area had been allocated £14,286. The youth community councils would make recommendations on the opportunities they would like provided in their area.
Attendance Monitoring Forms
New monitoring forms had been circulated. The form helped officers to assess how well the community council meetings were engaging with people in the borough.
Community Council Question for Council Assembly
The following community council question for the next Council Assembly was suggested by Councillor James Barber and supported by members:
“Would the administration support in principle a new Dulwich Police Station on any redevelopment on the current site via a section 106 agreement?”
