Community payment (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settlement

I believe this is a double definition.

'community' is the first definition.
(settlement is a kind of community)

'payment' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "Outpost; agreement" , "Hamlet - conclusion" , "Colony; agreement" , "Subsidence; payment" , "village" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
