Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much in cash terms has been spent from the Towns Fund to date.
This question was answered on 22nd June 2020
In December, we paid out £16.4 million in capacity funding to local authorities from the initial 100 towns selected to agree Town Deals. This was to support the development of a Town Deal Board and Town Investment Plan for each of the shortlisted towns in their area.
To date we have also allocated £14.5 million in Future High Streets Fund revenue funding to places to develop detailed business cases for their proposals.
