Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 8 November 2016.
In March 2013, a baseline review established 38,000 homes were covered by the zones. In November 2013, we invited local authorities to bid for funding to support the creation of zones in their areas. I have to say, only 12 authorities requested funding and just under £35,000 was provided. That said, the number of homes covered by zones has now increased to 53,000.
