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.'

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
