A:
The total amount allocated to C&P over the programme period is £2,494,389.
I have been advised that three projects were taken forward under the year one allocation of £806,091 for communities and place these have been broken down as requested with reference to 22/23 only. However, I have put a note on each to say where they have rolled over into the following year. If you would like the total allocations plus budget spent you can add the totals together for spend in communities and place in 22/23.
In answer to the second question, £21,140 & £8,748 & £19,050 spent in 22/23. The rest was rolled over into 23/24.
