Can the community schemes under the Department's remit be broadened? There is not a significant take-up under them. For example, in some areas people have to contribute to the maintenance of a local road even though it is classed as a council road. Can the scheme be broadened in order that roads that were not taken in charge could be funded by the people doing work on them, as used to happen under the local improvements scheme, LIS?
