Minutes:
Fitzroy Lewis, community council development officer, explained that the neighbourhood fund 2016/17, had been launched on 2 November 2015 and would close at 12 noon on 6 January 2016. Southwark’s community councils have a total of £630,000 to support activities run by local groups, for local people, across the borough.
The funding was ward-based and each ward had been allocated approximately £30,000 for community projects. Awards would generally be between £500 and £5,000. Residents were encouraged to apply if they had an idea for a community project that would enhance their local area or bring local people together.
