Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail (i) the purpose; and (ii) the scope of the Blue/Green Fund.

Answer:

The £20m Blue/Green fund that I have announced will act as a catalyst for positive infrastructure and cultural change in the way citizens live and travel, building on current initiatives that I have already introduced.

I want to make sure that there is an inclusive approach to determining the deployment of this fund with a wide range of stakeholders having had the opportunity to identify innovative solutions that will transform communities for the better.

I therefore intend to meet with a wide range of stakeholders in the coming weeks to swiftly explore and seek support for co-design ideas and initiatives that can be taken forward under the fund immediately.
