The Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) provides funding to help local authorities carry out improvement works on private and non-publicly maintained roads.
Often these roads lead to a number of homes, farms or fields in use, or to lakes, rivers and beaches.
The scheme is also an important part of the delivery of the Government’s Our Rural Future Rural Development Policy 2021-2025 . One of the pillars of the action plan focuses on improving rural infrastructure and connectivity.
