Answer
I am currently finalising my budget allocations, however, I have made it clear that I intend to invest in a Blue/Green Infrastructure fund for this year. My Department is currently finalising a full delivery programme.
You have asked what has been spent to date within 21/22 and I can confirm that my Department has, so far, made binding Blue Green Fund grant and contractual commitments amounting to £1.9 million for the following projects in 2021/22:
| Forth Meadow Community Greenway | £450,000 |
| Lagan Gateway Greenway | £550,000 |
| Strabane North Greenway | £470,000 |
| Strathfoyle Greenway | £150,000 |
| Strangford Ferry emissions reduction | £300,000 |
| TOTAL | £1,920,000 |
