In addition, Ministers also announced on 29 March 2009 funding for three further community infrastructure fund schemes being promoted by Essex county council. No expenditure has yet to be provided to the following schemes:
New A12 Junction—£11.2 million

The Department for Transport also provides integrated transport block and highways maintenance funding to local transport authorities, which would include Essex county council. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 23 June 2009, Official Report, column 773W, which provides the funding support provided to Essex county council in the last five years.
