These are monies that the council has received from large housing developments as part of 'Section 75' agreements which detail what contributions developers will provide towards local infrastructure and when. Sometimes this includes monies which are towards general town or village improvements, such as those below, which the council then administers as a fund.
The list below contains those places for where funds are being made available to the council to administer. Each scheme is slightly different to reflect the local requirements and agreements for that area.
