Since 2010 the Government has cut the money it gives us by 56%. This is the biggestfinancial challenge Lambeth has ever faced, and it comes at a time of high demandfor our key services, such as social care and temporary accommodation for peoplewho are homeless.

Part of the funding needed for local improvements can come from the CommunityInfrastructure Levy (CIL). This is a tax paid by developers on new buildings, such ashousing and office developments.

The consultation area consists of the wider Norwood area covering Gipsy Hill, Knight’sHill and Thurlow Park wards, including residential neighbourhoods. Within these areas,any developments that may occur will generate CIL income. We want residents tobenefit from this income, so we are seeking your views to help guide future spend.

Priorities you may want to suggest can include, but are not limited to,improvements to your streets, open spaces and community places;or support for jobs, training and youth facilities.

At a time when finances are stretched, it is critical that the Council invests wiselyhelping to tackle inequality, looking at the evidence and the priorities of residents.
