(2) What is the total value of funding which has been transferred from territorial road maintenance to each of the other three categories of works listed at (1) above;
(3) How many lane kilometres and/or square metres (whichever is applicable) of maintenance for each of the three categories of works listed at (1) above were achieved for the amount of funding transferred from territorial road maintenance;
(4) Has the additional 820 square metres of community path maintenance which was achieved above the target of 18 000 been totally funded from the funds transferred from territorial road maintenance;
(5) Has the additional 1 lane kilometre of municipal road maintenance which was achieved above the target of 20 kilometres been totally funded from the funds transferred from territorial road maintenance;
