Answer
The Department for Communities, in collaboration with DAERA and DfI, has led the delivery of the £19.3m Covid-19 Recovery Revitalisation Programme across all Council areas. Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, which covers all of the towns you have listed, has received a total allocation of £1.45m broken down as follows: DfC £738k capital and £41k revenue; DAERA £276k capital; and DfI £395k capital.
Funding was provided to support revitalisation plans that had been developed by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council in conjunction with key stakeholders, and bespoke to needs identified in their Council area.
It is not possible to provide a breakdown of how much has been invested specifically in Coleraine, Limavady, Garvagh, Kilrea and Dungiven at this time, as Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is still processing grant applications received and is finalising the delivery of a range of initiatives across the Borough.
