Updated 2019/20 Work Programme
|
|
We have updated and republished our 2019/20 Work Programme to reflect projects we intend to progress for the remainder of this financial year.
The updated work programme responds to the external environment and the need to balance competing demands for the remainder of this financial year. We have had to put some existing projects on hold and reduced the scope of others while we refocus our attention and effort.
The updated work programme is on our website.
