PARISH COUNCIL AWARDS TO COMMUNITY PROJECTS
The Parish Council can support local projects that benefit the village by either awarding grants or using the Community Infrastructure Levy. This is a levy that Elmbridge Borough Council can charge on specific new building developments, and the amount received by the Parish Council can be spent on projects that would not normally be covered by the Precept or other funding source.
In the past year, the Parish Council has supported the following community projects:
- £1,000 to Claygate Scout Group for solar panels and batteries for the Scout Hut
- £500 to Claygate Village Association towards the cost of the stage at the village lights event on The Parade
- £385 to the Claygate Village Association towards the cost of the Christmas tree on The Green
- £1,155 to the Claygate Recreation Ground Trust towards the cost of a children's party on the Recreation Ground in commemoration of the King's Coronation
- £500 to Community Orchard Project South East to fund the seeding of Pearmain Apple Orchards in the parish
Any local group or organisation planning a project that benefits the local community might be eligible for a Parish Council grant or Community Infrastructure Levy support. To find out more, please visit the Parish Council website at claygateparishcouncil.gov.uk or contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@claygateparishcouncil.gov.uk.
