View answerThe summer works scheme provides capital grants for necessary small-scale works that can be planned and delivered during the summer months. Applications are considered under the terms and conditions of the scheme.
The management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers has recently made an application for provision of a play area under the summer works scheme 2005.
