The Community Involvement Scheme (CIS) was a pilot scheme which was completed in 2014. It was decided that there would be no separate allocation under this grant category in 2015. Instead the scheme has reverted back to allowing local authorities to set aside 7.5% of their Restoration Improvement (RI) and Restoration Maintenance (RM) grants for CIS schemes if they so wish. Local authorities were notified of the above in Circular RW 2/2015 which issued to local authorities on 3 February 2015.
