Minutes:
Michelle Normanly, project manager in public realm, outlined the Cleaner Greener Safer (CGS) capital programme for 2015/16. CGS was a programme of funding available to local residents and community groups to propose ideas to improve their environment. People had to live in the area of the scheme and the capital programme was for permanent physical features for example: play areas, community gardens and outdoor gyms. The project ideas must make Southwark cleaner, greener or safer. In Camberwell, 232 CGS projects had been delivered since 2003 and 42 other projects were still live. This year in the Camberwell Community Council area, there was £268,571 available to allocate on CGS projects. The closing date for applications was 7 November 2014.
