Local authorities would say to us they do not have resources, they cannot get projects done quickly enough, and the number of schemes the Department has is eating up all the other resources. The Department talked about a town regeneration officer for the town first initiative, but we need a lot more strategic thinking around other elements of programmes that possibly would need larger resources and better linkage with the Department in terms of trying to get through the procurement, design and different stages. I would ask that this be looked at in the context of delivery.
