Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the total amount of money spent from the Blue/Green Fund in 2021/22, broken down per project.


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

£550,000
