Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to paragraph 2.6 of his Department's guidance entitled Towns Fund: Prospectus published on 1 November 2019, whether there will be a competition for further towns to develop a Town Deal Board, a Town Investment Plan and to agree a Town Deal.
There are no further Town Deal funds available. Any funding that has not been allocated towards successful recipients of either Town Deals or the Future High Streets Fund competition has been used to support delivery that is closely aligned with the outcomes of the fund – including the Levelling Up Fund and Freeports.
