§ Mr. Charles ClarkeSixty-three strategic development projects approved in April last year are underway and another 161 projects have been approved in the last three 451W months. In total these have been granted nearly £16 million and they cover over 800,000 households that suffered more than 60,000 burglaries in a year.
In April, we launched the third round, inviting bids from crime and disorder partnerships for a share of the remaining funding—over £30 million.
