Text
Quite a few announcements have been made and funding allocated. We will not be able to do much more in this financial year, but I always want to make sure that we make the best use of the funds that we have. We are bringing forward the Olympic legacy fund and the community infrastructure fund because people said that they wanted that smaller level of investment in their community. We will certainly look at the budget moving forward to see whether more resource needs to be allocated to those or, indeed, any other schemes.
