| CIL reports EOY |
Edenbridge Town Council: Promotional Infrastructure for Visit Edenbridge – balance £7,765 (resolution February 2020 5.3 £12k; reconfirmed commitment from funds 2024).
10 walks leaflets have been completed but were part funded via a KCC Members grant so less CIL was needed. There are now three trails being rewritten, and funding of walks envelope which will be funded via the CIL award. The walks app/GPS is also outstanding. It is likely most of the above award will be released back to CIL funds.
Edenbridge Town Council: Contribution towards Electric Car Charging Points via KSTS for Edenbridge – £7,500 (October 2021 7.2.)
EVCs installed MYCP x 4. Awaiting invoice, though the terms of the EVCs has changed and the Council will not be receiving an income from these. It is likely this money can be released back to CIL.
Edenbridge Rugby Club – Pavilion Refurbishment - £8,275 (resolution February 2022 5.2.)
Details of the refurbishment schedule and works yet to be finalised to the Council, and claim by the Club to be made.
