Last week, we announced a £9 million extension to the Urban Villages capital plan. That will allow the development of four fantastic new projects in Belfast and Derry, providing much-needed physical regeneration, creating safer communities, and making a positive difference to people's lives. The updated capital plan also ensures the successful continuation of the 70 capital projects that are already being delivered across the five Urban Villages areas. The Urban Villages initiative is providing funding for skills and training in areas such as capacity building and sustainability to all key project promoters to ensure that they can deliver on long-term objectives as well as social, economic, environmental and good relations outcomes over the next two years.
