HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 c219W
Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is now the estimated cost of the proposed gipsy caravan site at Redmires Lodge Moor, Sheffield; how much of the total outlay will be subject to grants under existing legislation; how much of this may be offset against the rate support grant; and what will be the amount falling on the local rates.

Mr. Marks

The estimated capital cost of this site is about £190,000; 100 per cent. of the final agreed capital cost will be eligible for Exchequer grant, so none of that cost should fall on local rates and the question of rate support grant does not arise.
