The steering committee of the Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum has decided to pause the process by which twice-yearly rounds calling for applications are announced. There will be no Autumn round 2026.

The reason for the pause is that there are several prospective applications under discussion involving large sums of money. With shrinking funds and uncertainty as to when further CIL money will become available, the steering committee must proceed with greater caution than hitherto.

Applications will still be welcome, but they will have to wait until the steering committee decides the time is appropriate for them to be processed. The steering committee has also decided to look favourably on applications where demonstrable efforts have been made to seek alternative sources of funding that would reduce the amount of CIL required.

Twenty applications for CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) funding were received for consideration by the Steering Committee.

After consulting the public, the final decisions of the Steering Committee (as of 1 July 2026) can be seen here.

Our 2026 Summer Open Meeting is on Thursday 4 June at 7.30pm at Cutteslowe Community Centre, 31 Wren Road, Oxford OX2 7SX.
Come and hear the latest on how our neighbourhood is changing, and on bold new plans for improving community facilities.
