§ Mr. Peter MorrisonNo youth opportunities programme places are now supported by Allerdale district council since the programme has been replaced by the youth training scheme. Although no new places were sponsored by Allerdale district council under either the youth training scheme or the community programme in October, 20 youth training scheme places and 400 community programme places are currently being supported by the council.
