Mr. Corfield

Payments of grant amounting to £30,541 have been made for two schemes undertaken by the Sunderland County Borough Council, and one each by the Blyth Borough Council and the Spennymoor, Tow Law and Washington Urban District Councils. Five of these six schemes will attract further payments of £31,481 as they are completed.
