Answer
A bid was submitted in the 2015/16 June Monitoring Round to support continuation of successful projects and outcomes from the 2014/15 North West Social and Economic Development Programme.
As you are aware, the Executive has not yet agreed in-year Monitoring Round bids in the 2015-16 financial year.
My officials continue to work closely with stakeholders in the North West to support partnerships and opportunities to maximise the long term impact of City of Culture 2013. A significant investment of £6m from 1st January 2014 to date has significantly increased capacity and sustainability of successful projects established in 2013.
