Annual expenditure under the local authority construction programme, i.e. standard construction, turnkeys and rapid delivery, for the period 2005 to 2017, and to date in 2018, is set out in the following table.  The data is provided from 2005 onwards in order to align with the introduction of my Department’s current financial management system during 2004.

The breakdown of the data at individual local authority level over the 14 year period is not readily available. However, if the Deputy is concerned about a specific local authority or local authorities, I will have the matter explored further on receipt of the relevant information.

In addition to standard construction, turnkeys and rapid delivery mechanisms, local authorities also deliver social housing through dedicated regeneration programmes which seek to address the causes of disadvantage in communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration.  Total expenditure under the National Regeneration Programme by local authorities over the period 2005 to 2017, and to date in 2018, is set out in the following table.
