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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much funding from the public purse his Department has allocated to each coastal town from the Coastal Communities Fund in each year for which information is available.

We have funded 102 projects in 79 individual coastal settlements and 27 projects that cover multiple coastal locations in England. The total value of all these projects is £132 million. I will place a table in the Library of the House showing the amount of grant awarded in each bidding round and the coastal locations they cover.

The Welsh Government is responsible for Coastal Community Fund grant awards in Wales and can provide details of grants awarded to coastal locations there.
