Vol. 394 No. 8
317 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for the Environment the projects which have been submitted for funding under the urban renewal scheme by each local authority.
Under the urban renewal programme, tax reliefs and rates remissions are available, within certain time limits, in respect of development and redevelopment carried out in the designated areas.
In 1989, a sum of £2 million was provided in State grants to assist works by local authorities designed to enhance the environment of the designated areas and to complement other development under the urban renewal programme. A list of the works assisted by these grants in 1989 is set out in the schedule. The original provision of £2 million for these grants in the 1990 Estimates will be increased to £2.5 million, in accordance with the recently announced environment action programme.
