2016 CIL Funding Programme (for 2017/18)

We undertook public consultation on the CIL Funding Programme for 2017/18 between 6 October and 4 November 2016. We considered all the comments we received and used them to help inform our final recommendations on the funding programme. A feedback report can be found below, which sets out how we responded to your comments. Cabinet members then made the final decision in January 2017 as to which schemes will be allocated CIL monies in 2017/18. The following projects were chosen:

  • £150,000 to canal towpath improvements between Burscough Wharf and Glovers Swing Bridge near Lathom. The project will upgrade a key section of a strategic route for cycling and walking on the pier-to-pier route between Southport and Wigan. Additional funding will be provided by the Canal and Rivers Trust.
  • £20,000 for improvements to upgrade and extend the play area at Stanley Coronation Park, Skelmersdale. 
  • £3,000 for improvements to Mere Sands Wood Visitor Centre (Phase One) to develop public facilities and support the use of the centre for education activities, evening talks and other events. Additional funding for the project will be provided by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust.

 

The remainder of the collected monies will be pooled to be spent on strategic schemes in the future.
