Answer
Since the budget was announced, I have allocated over £2 million from the Carrier Bag Levy Fund for the environment giving some relief to environmental groups and programmes. Of this £2 million, £0.5m is to be spent on Listed Building grant schemes. The focus will be on supporting existing restoration and maintenance projects, in buildings that provide facilities for community access and use, including churches, and I expect to make an announcement on the funding allocation details shortly.
