Money can only be used for reports and strategies
The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed local authorities won't receive any money for climate change projects.
It says the Treasury decided financial support from the Climate Change Fund should be for 'preparatory' work including feasibility reports and de-carbonisation strategies.
Ramsey Commissioners asked for funding to buy an electric refuse wagon and LED street lights and were turned down.
DOI Chief Officer Emily Curphey says until Treasury and DEFA finalise terms of reference, there's nothing the department can do:

Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
Review of taxi fares extended to assess impact of Middle East conflict
