Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how much funding her Department has committed to the development of the Forth Meadow Greenway, broken down by year.

Answer:

In my announcement on 16th September 2020 I committed £375K to the Forth Meadow Greenway project – £250K in 2020/21 and £125K in 2021/22. My officials are currently in discussion with the Council about further funding for the project. No allocations have yet been made as the funds are subject to receipt of an approved business case and Department of Finance approval for the making of the capital grant.

Any decision regarding potential funding in the future will depend on budget allocations to the Department in 2021/22 and beyond.
