Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to provide additional funding for the Levelling Up Fund after the completion of the second round of allocations.

The £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund invests in infrastructure that improves everyday life for local residents across the UK, focusing on regenerating town centres and high streets, upgrading local transport, and investing in cultural and heritage assets.

We are determined to learn all the lessons we can in continuing to improve our support for local places. We are therefore not yet committing to the timing or format of future rounds of the Fund and have encouraged applicants who are in a position to do so to submit bids for the current round of the Fund.
