Thank you for that question. We know the significant impact that the Urban Villages programme has on communities. Successful delivery of the remaining capital projects will increase access to shared-space facilities and continue to promote integration across the five Urban Village areas and beyond. The strategic direction for Urban Villages that we have set out includes completing the current Urban Villages plan, with a focus on delivering the remaining capital portfolio projects; investing over the next few years to help secure the sustainability of capital projects that will be delivered through grant support for capacity building to support community organisations in taking forward large capital projects; and planning for the future by establishing a working group to take forward the development of phase 2, which includes joined-up delivery by Departments to catalyse the linkages that Urban Villages has made in supporting ministerial priorities. That will fully demonstrate TEO's impact on the Urban Villages areas.
