Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department is working to the timetable for the Towns Fund as set out on the Towns Fund website hosted by The Towns Fund Delivery Partner.
The cohort timetables set out on the Towns Fund Delivery Partner’s website were produced when towns were still in the process submitting their Town Investment Plans. All Towns submitted those plans between July 2020 and January 2021. To date, we have offered Town Deals to 86 places. Those towns are busy turning their plans into reality and we will announce the remaining 15 Town Deals in due course.
