Bath City Football Club £75,000 and Love Weston Library £10,000.

In the absence of a Parish Council for Bath, the Bath and North East Somerset Council has a statutory responsibility to allocate the local portion of CIL.

The CIL for Bath Advisory Board has considered eleven applications that requested support from the Bath CIL neighbourhood portion, eight applications were recommended for funding.

Three other applications were submitted that were outside of the boundary of Bath therefore these were not valid and therefore were not put to the Advisory Board to consider.
