Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what funding is available for the redevelopment of town centres in Fylde constituency.

The Government will set out its long-term vision for local growth at the muti-year spending review in the Spring. This will end the approach of Local Authorities and MCAs bidding against each other for growth funds, targeting funding where it is needed most and empowering local leaders. The Government will also set out more detail on its strategy for regional growth alongside, and integrated with, plans for infrastructure, investment, and the Industrial Strategy.

This being said, Fylde Council will continue to receive the departments full support in delivering £5.8 million of Getting Building Fund which was allocated to Fylde Council to deliver the M55 Heyhouses link and improve connectivity around The Fylde coast including St Annes.

Likewise, Kirkham has received £6.3 million of Future High Street Funding towards regeneration of the town including an educational and employment skills centre.
