I clarify a point for the Minister to avoid misunderstanding. On new ideas to spend money, I was talking specifically about the local improvement scheme, LIS, for example, where there is a list of the roads, and a value on them, a council cannot do it by a certain date, and a community is willing to take it on and do it - within reason; not at the 11th hour and 59th minute - providing that it is within the prices and guidelines set out by the council.
