Locality Fund

Schemes funded 2022 to 2023

Where possible, existing schemes which it had not been possible to complete during the 2021 to 2022 financial year were extended into the 2022 to 2023 financial year. Details of this are published with the 2022 to 2023 Locality Fund report. Any Locality Fund underspend from the 2021 to 2022 financial year was carried forward for each individual division and, where possible, allocated during 2022 to 2023.
