Southwark Council’s Cabinet has approved funding for the Kipling Garages scheme at its meeting on 19 July

The decision comes after Southwark Council officers reviewed the Kipling Scheme and the CBS, and were content that it presented an ongoing and viable proposition to deliver 27 new council homes.

The Council agreed to release just over £3 million for the scheme (approximately 35% of the total £9.7 million cost) from the Council’s Housing Investment Programme. The remaining sum would be release from the Council’s Section 106 funds, subject to the separate approval of the Council’s planning committee – with the hope that this will be decided at the September meeting.
