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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to increase investment in town centres.

Our town centres and high streets have an important role to play as we drive growth across the country; creating jobs, nurturing small businesses and injecting billions of pounds into our economy.

Our £3.6 billion Towns Fund is key to delivering this, and through the Future High Streets Fund and Town Deals we will drive the economic regeneration of our high streets and towns centres to provide long term economic growth and improved productivity across the country.
