We like to turn local people's ideas into reality! If you live or work in Southwark, you can apply for changes that you would like to see in your area. From something as small as planting bulbs in a park or a housing estate, to larger projects such as replacing an old playground, or safety measures like lighting or pedestrian crossings - it's up to you!

For the past eleven years the CGS programme has funded only capital projects such as creating new and refurbishing existing ball courts, installing new railings and fencing, and improving lighting. Now, with the addition of the CGS Revenue fund, projects such as extra street cleaning, gardening courses for residents and other maintenance type projects, will also be considered for funding. Groups that can deliver a project themselves can be considered for a grant.

Applications for both CGS capital and revenue can be made using the same form, and successful applications will be allocated to the appropriate fund by council officers.

For information about some completed projects in your area, please choose your area from the list on the left.

The closing date for applications for this year's programme is Friday 8 November 2013. Decisions on the applications will be announced at community council meetings in January and February 2014. Applicants will be notified by letter after this.

Thanks mynamehere!


Hi Flower, I've checked the link and it's working from my computer.

You do not need to do detailed costings as council officers will do that, so don't worry if you are no sure how much it will cost to implement your ideas.

'Groups that can deliver a project themselves can be considered for a grant.'

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
