Share your views on proposed funding for 14 community projects in West Bridgford
Last updated: 29/1/2026
Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) is seeking views from residents of West Bridgford, Lady Bay and Edwalton on how local portions of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding should be allocated to community projects in areas where development has taken place.
West Bridgford Neighbourhood CIL is funded by developers and helps support local services, infrastructure and facilities to meet the needs of a growing population and serve more residents.
In its latest round of funding RBC has over £192,500 to allocate to 14 local projects and is looking to support these groups with funding contributions up to £25,000 each. As part of the process, the Council is asking residents for feedback on the current proposals.
As West Bridgford has no Town or Parish Council, RBC administers this funding and must decide how it is spent in consultation with the local community.
Expressions of interest were recently invited from local groups and organisations, and the following projects are now open for public consultation:
· 1st Lady Bay Scouts – Stackable chairs
· Abbey Park Community Association – First aid training and equipment
· RBC and Friends of the Hook – Storage building repairs
· Corsairs Rugby Club – Upgraded clubhouse facilities at Lady Bay Sports Ground
· Grantham Canal Society – Canal maintenance and repairs
· Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association - Improved storage and rest facilities
· Notts Gymnastics Academy – Development of ancillary spaces
· West Bridgford Scouts – Wightman Hall roof repairs
· St Paul’s Community Wellbeing Hub – Resources for existing projects
· NHS Social Prescribing Service – Year 2 of Social Prescribing Service
· West Bridgford Canal Group (WeBcan) – Reed clearance along Grantham Canal
· RBC - Greythorn Drive Play Area astro-turf resurfacing
· RBC - West Park Junior Play Area equipment replacement and upgrades
· RBC – West Park Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) redevelopment works
Residents can find out more about the eligible projects and complete the survey by visiting the RBC website.
Views should be submitted by Thursday February 19.
Future rounds of funding will be released in summer 2026 on a six-monthly cycle.
RBC’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Finance, Transformation and Governance Cllr Davinder Virdi said: “We’re seeking views from local residents to help identify priorities for how Neighbourhood CIL funding should be spent in West Bridgford in this third round of support.
“This funding, which is generated by development in the local area, plays an important role in supporting community facilities, local services and green spaces that residents value and use every day.
“There are 14 projects across the area that could benefit from further funding, and we encourage residents to share their views by visiting our website and completing the short survey before the deadline of February 19.
“For local groups interested in apply in the future, further funding rounds will be announced later this year.”
