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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions have taken place on the future of sites in Telford as part of the Building for the Future programme.

There have been no explicit discussions abut a ‘Building for the Future’ programme.

However as part of the recently announced Growth Deal with The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership my officials are in regular discussion with both the Partnership and Telford and Wrekin Council about the use of land assets in Telford managed by the Homes and Communities Agency and the joint stewardship arrangements.
