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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when the Government will publish the Strategy for Community Spaces and Relationships as committed to in the Levelling Up White Paper published in February 2022.

Since publishing the levelling up white paper we have delivered improvements to communities across the country. From saving community assets through the Community Ownership Fund, and investing in local priorities through the Levelling Up Fund and UK Shared Prosperity Fund, to tackling Anti-Social Behaviour with an ambitious new Action Plan to crack down on issues that blight communities.

Going forward we want to consult and work with local communities and stakeholders to understand how community spaces and relationship could be strengthened. This work will begin in due course.
