§ Mr. BaldryCity challenge partnerships have received a total funding allocation of £7.5 million per annum for 443W five years. Partnerships' expenditure limits were revised as appropriate in order to offset predicted underspends, as they became known, against opportunities to expedite spend elsewhere. These in-year changes do not affect the overall sum allocated to each partnership, which remains at £37.5 million for the five years.
