Aside from providing for the derelict sites levy - the proceeds of which are retained by local authorities - and associated provisions, the Derelict Sites Act 1990 does not address the issue of funding for local authorities to address dereliction. The proportion of the overall annual budget of each local authority which is spent on addressing dereliction is a matter for each local authority and is unavailable in my Department. This information may be available from individual local authorities.
