View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 38, 47, 60 and 73 together.
In February this year, my Department launched a pilot Community Involvement Scheme which will be based on private contributions towards works on local and regional roads within the range of 20% to 50% depending on the amount and nature of the community contribution. This enables works to be carried out on less prioritised roads sooner than would have been otherwise possible.
My Department recently received applications from 25 county councils and 1 city council for funding under this scheme of grants. All of these applications are being assessed in my Department and it is hoped to announce the allocations to local authorities shortly. The final allocation will not be known until all of the applications have been fully assessed.
Details of the number and cost of applications received from each local authority are outlined in the table below:
