There is a lot more to be done on active travel. The local authority is working with different groups and agencies and we will see much more happening in this regard. Some of the money is spent and there is more to be spent. The council is waiting on the Department before it can proceed. When funding like that is announced, it comes in stages. While one stage is being done, the council must wait for funding for the second stage. That might be unfair but the money will be given and there are more projects coming down the line. I will send the list of projects to Ms Deyassa. Is that fair enough? She is right that we must ensure the funding is spent, and where we spend it is very important.
