On the 31st October 2017, Batchworth Community Council received the first tranche of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), from the development at Town Wharf. This amounted to £108,000 and there is still more to come on the 31st October 2018.
The Community Council will start the process of developing a Neighbourhood Plan early in 2018 and it is anticipated that this will give a clear indication of residents and businesses wishes on how this money should be spent on infrastructure within the Town Ward.
