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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the press release entitled Boarded-up high streets brought back to life with £210m boost, of 25 September 2026, what the profile is of the £210 million across (a) RDEL and (b) CDEL in each year; and what the budget is for high street support and regeneration.

The £210 million Community Assets Programme includes the Derelict Buildings Fund, grants for High Street Rental Auctions, the Regional Co-operative Development Programme and new community ownership funding.

The £125 million Derelict Buildings Fund will support 60 local authorities across England, chosen using a consistent national methodology. Allocations range from £1 million to £3 million and comprise capital and revenue funding. A full list of eligible local authorities and total funding per place is set out on gov.uk here. Funding profiles will be set out in due course.

High Street Rental Auctions funding is open to all local authorities with planning powers in England. Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis against the eligibility criteria set out in the prospectus.

The programme also includes £65 million in community ownership funding to support communities to take over valued local assets, with further details on how to access the funding to be published in early 2027.

Further details on the wider Community Assets Programme are set out online here.
