The programme supports Local Authorities in their delivery of their commitments under the Armed Forces Covenant. Local Authorities have been able to apply to the Covenant Fund since July 2016. Decisions will be made by the Covenant Fund National Panel on 23 March 2017 as to the first year's funding, and published on the Armed Forces Covenant website. Until the grant awards have been made it would be inappropriate to say which Local Authorities submitted applications. In addition, Local Authorities are also eligible to bid for smaller grants of up to £20,000 from the Armed Forces Covenant Local Grants.

The Environment Agency reports the condition of the essential navigation assets such as locks, landing stages and canoe portages on a quarterly basis. Assets are considered to be at a required condition if they do not have any defects that significantly reduce the performance of the asset, or adversely increase the safety risk to the public or Environment Agency staff.
The Environment Agency regularly inspects all navigation assets. If there is a safety risk to members of the public then repairs will be undertaken to remove the risk or the asset will be closed.
The information in the table below relates only to expenditure associated with navigation assets within Anglian Region. The Environment Agency also invests money on other assets and in-river works that provide benefit to navigation, for example in-river weed cutting for Flood and Coastal Risk Management purposes, and investment to weirs and sluices that maintain a water level for navigation.
