	The Environment Agency through DEFRA Grant in Aid funding has been the main contributor to this project with some partner match funding. Further funds have been secured to continue the project to 31 March 2016. This source of this funding however is expected to significantly decrease beyond March 2016 so the partners are seeking other funding sources to continue to develop what appears to be a successful approach with many benefits and one that can be shared with other towns and cities with urban pollution issues.
