Answer

My Department has increased provision in Community, Social and Physical renewal through funding the following new projects in the last three years:

D.R.I.V.E. (Developing Relationships in Vulnerable Environments) Project. This project focuses on Community and Social Renewal and is a structured programme of diversionary activities for 5-13 year olds living in the Limavady Neighbourhood Renewal Area;

Physical Renewal at Benevenagh Drive, Dunmore Place and Grange Park, Limavady; and

Physical Renewal of Scroggy Road Playing Fields, Limavady.

Overall, my Department has provided financial assistance of £1.2 million in the period 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2015 for the Limavady Neighbourhood Renewal Area.
