Local authorities were issued with a circular on 12th February this year inviting applications for funding under the Community Involvement Scheme with a deadline of 19th April 2013. This timescale provides local authorities with over 9 weeks to compile their applications and submit them. Any extension to this deadline would impact on the assessment and subsequent allocations which in turn would impact on the ability of the local authorities to carry out any approved works by the end of this year.
