How we’ve used CIL in Southwark

Between 2015 and 2020 we raised £23m in local CIL. £6m was spent on 66 community projects, which the public chose from a list of about 1,000 ideas.

Surrey Docks Farm is one project that benefited from CIL. The farm used this money to refurbish their community building in Odessa Street, so that it could be used by the local community for meetings, workshops and classes.
