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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to safeguard value for money in public expenditure in respect of monies disbursed through the Towns Fund to Peterborough City Council for the construction of climbing wall facilities at Gunwade Lake.

Peterborough City Council (PCC) as the accountable body for the Peterborough Town Deal has responsibility for ensuring that specific projects, such as the Activity Centre project at Gunwade Lake, represent good value for money, in line with the conditions of their grant funding allocation.

MHCLG undertake regular monitoring of the delivery progress of the Town Deal which is used to inform any future payments.
