Again, as I said, with the risk of repeating myself, it will require a lot of preliminary work to be done in advance of making sure that scheme can go ahead. We want to make sure that preliminary work can be done. To do that, it will require resources within the council, which we are open to funding and resourcing once a business case is brought before us. We have had a lot of dialogue with the council officials, written and otherwise, to clarify its position and needs. We will work with them in the same way as we are working with them in all the other towns and villages that we are protecting in the county.
