Ms Oona King: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister when he expects to reopen the Living Spaces programme for fresh applications.
[209008]
Phil Hope: Living Spaces was set up as an innovative approach to helping communities make tangible and lasting changes to their
local environment. Due to the large demand from community groups for support from Living Spaces, funding for the three-year
programme has been exhausted and, therefore, there are currently no plans to reopen the scheme for fresh applications. We are
working across Government and elsewhere to ensure that Living Spaces, or a similar type of funding scheme, will continue in the
future.
The lessons learnt from the success of Living Spaces will help to inform future policies and programmes that seek to involve local
people in improving the quality of their local communities.

Ms Oona King: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister (1) how many applications to the Living Spaces programme are awaiting a decision on
funding; [209009]
(2) if he will list the schemes in Tower Hamlets that have (a) been granted funding from the Living Spaces programme and
(b) are awaiting a decision on funding from the programme. [209010]
Phil Hope: 340 community groups are awaiting a decision on funding having applied to the Living Spaces programme. These groups have
had their initial application approved and have been allocated a trained "enabler" who will help them to develop their proposed
project and draw up an action plan as part of the project assessment process. Following recommendation from the enabler, the project
assessment is submitted to Living Spaces for approval and successful groups are then offered a grant.
To date, three projects in Tower Hamlets have been granted funding from the Living Spaces programme. They are: The Escape! project,
which has been awarded a grant of £5,000 to create a community garden and improve access to the Cedar Community Centre on the Isle
of Dogs. The Attlee Youth and Community Centre project, which has been awarded a grant of £83,005 to provide a play area and sensory
garden as part of a wider development project to improve facilities at the centre. The Bromley by Bow Community Park project, which
has been awarded a grant of £75,000 to improve facilities at the park and create a welcoming, safe green space for the community.
A further two community groups from Tower Hamlets have applied to Living Spaces. These groups have had their initial application
approved and have since worked up their plans with the help of a Living Spaces enabler. Once Living Spaces receives a final
recommendation from the enabler a decision on funding will be taken. The projects are: The Bio Diverse and Tasty Landscaping
project, which has applied for a grant of £23,026 to create a community garden on the basis of sustainable living at Spitalfields
City Farm. The Safe Links to Living Well project, which has applied for a grant of £20,000 to improve access to Tower Hamlets
Cemetery Park by replacing neglected entrance gates with wheelchair- friendly kissing gates, and improve entrance areas with new
planting.
