View answerThe advancement of each URDF supported project is, in the first instance, a matter for the individual local authority involved. It is also a matter for each local authority as an independent statutory body to establish whether their projects can be considered essential by reference to the relevant regulations concerning restrictions during the current Covid 19 lockdown (The Health Act 1947 (Section 31A – Temporary Restrictions) (Covid-19) (No.10) (Amendment) Regulations 2021) which amends the Health Act 1947 (Section 31A - Temporary Restrictions) (COVID-19) (No. 10) Regulations 2020).
