The local authority has to apply but it will not get URDF funding to acquire the premises, which is one of the main blockages in the first place. It is about having the bravery to acquire a premises and then putting forward an application for URDF funding. It is very frustrating. These campaigns have been going on for many years. The artists are performing for free on the street, which is incredible for pundits but not necessarily so for the artists.
