Capital funding has not yet been allocated to successful local authorities for the Future High Streets Fund competitive process. However, we are in the final stages of the assessment and we expect to announce the outcome of the competition soon. £107 million (CDEL) of the Future High Streets Fund is allocated to DCMS to support the regeneration of heritage high streets through ‘Heritage Action Zones’.

Some revenue funding (RDEL) from the fund has been allocated to the High Streets Task Force, Business Improvement Districts and to develop a new parking code. Capacity funding grants of up to £150,000 were paid to 101 local authorities selected to prepare full business cases for the Future High Streets Fund Competition.
