Just recently, London Legacy Development Corporation (LDDC) announced the successful bids from the 2020 Neighbourhood Priorities Fund bidding round. In total there were 25 projects which were allocated just over £1.8million of funding.
They are all wonderful projects which will support the local community in a range of ways, from accessible camping equipment for Brownies and Guides to a social hub for local residents aged 65+.
The Neighbourhood Priorities Fund comes from LLDC’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) income, and is spent in consultation with the local community to mitigate the impact of development.
