The Action Plan for Neighbourhood Renewal, which will be published shortly, will set out the way in which funding from the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund should support local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategies. A Special Grant Report, early in 2001, will set out the basis for the distribution of grant and the conditions attached to the funding.
