Summer Open Meeting

Tuesday 3 June, Wolvercote Village Hall at 7.30pm

All are welcome to our Summer Open Meeting at Wolvercote Village Hall.
Come and join us, and have your say!
We shall be discussing:

  • Spending the CIL money we have available;
  • Developments happening, planned or proposed that will impact our neighbourhood;
  • The Wolvercote Neighbourhood Plan, for how we want to see our neighbourhood develop.

Refreshments will be available, provided by Wolvercote W.I.

Spring 2025 Community Projects CIL Funding

The application process is now closed for the Spring Round of funding for community projects in the Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum area. Funds come from the neighbourhood portion of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

Thirteen applications for CIL funding of community projects were received, and subsequently approved. See here for more details.

We are recruiting!

The work of the Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum is done by the volunteers making up its Steering Committee: currently just ten of us. There is much going on at present in the WNF area:

We need more help.

What we do

  • We have created the Wolvercote Neighbourhood Plan, approved by residents in the 2021 referendum, and accepted by the City Council. We now monitor all developments and planning applications affecting the area. We respond and challenge when they threaten the vision for our area expressed in the Plan, and favoured by residents.
  • We access money from the ‘Community Infrastructure Levy’ that developers pay the City Council. We use this to provide financial support to local groups with projects improving community infrastructure. The amount of money available is growing, so there is great potential for new projects.
  • To do all this effectively, we try as hard as we can to keep in touch with our members (i.e. all residents) through publicity, social media, emails, periodic public meetings etc.

Come and join us

If you are a resident of the WNF area, and are interested in joining us in these tasks, please email us at wolvercotenf@gmail.com .

We especially need more help and expertise in local authority planning issues and communications (particularly social media).
