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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the £65 million for rescuing community buildings and businesses announced on 25 September 2026, whether voluntary and community organisations in Aldridge-Brownhills will be able to apply directly for funding; and when applications will open.

We have announced £65m for communities across the country to rescue and take over the running of important local community assets, saving pubs, clubs and sports fields from closure.

Further details of the fund and how to apply will be set out in due course.
