Surrey Heath Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Transport and Planning Cllr Alan Ashbery said: “This is a great opportunity for local groups to apply for funding to give a boost to a community project. It’s easy to apply online – head to our website for more details.”
The grants are funded through Community Infrastructure Levy payments (payments made for development taking place in the Borough).
You can read more about the Community Infrastructure Levy on our website.
The bidding for LCIF funds for projects is designed for non-Parished areas in the Borough only. Parish Councils can be approached directly for support in relation to project funds, since they receive a proportion of Community Infrastructure Levy monies from building developments in their Parishes.
