Mining: Regeneration
(asked on 10th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to promote investment in former coalfield communities.
This question was answered on 18th October 2016
In England, local investment is mainly determined by Local Enterprise Partnerships based on their local economic growth priorities and funded through programmes such as City Deals, Devolution Deals, the Local Growth Fund and Enterprise Zones.
My officials continue to work with the Coalfields Regeneration Trust to support former coalfields communities.
Local growth is a devolved issue in the rest of the UK.
