Some of the new centres are ambitious. The applicants will have to have their ducks lined up - they will need to own the land and be ready. A great deal of preparatory work must be done before someone makes an application. The new community centres fund will be coming. Many new communities have developed in urban areas and they have no community centres. The fund will target them. I will be announcing the call for applications later this year. If the Deputy knows of communities that are ready or are thinking about this, he should tell them to start lining up their ducks.
