The blueprint for a new generation of multi-million Town Deals was announced today (1 November) by Communities and Local Government Secretary Robert\u202fJenrick<\/a><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Towns Fund prospectus<\/a>\u00a0provides information to councils in 100 places chosen to pioneer Town Deals \u2013 they will receive a share of \u00a316.4m capacity funding to kick-start their innovative plans and bring their communities together.<\/p>\n

Each place\u00a0will have the opportunity to bid for funding\u00a0of\u00a0up to \u00a325m as part of the government\u2019s \u00a33.6bn Towns Fund.<\/p>\n

The funding could be used to redevelop vacant buildings and land, drive private sector investment by supporting small businesses and ensure young people have the skills they need to get good jobs. Communities will also be able to consider how they can boost their transport links and increase access to high-speed broadband.<\/p>\n

Communities and Local Government Secretary Rt Hon Robert\u202fJenrick\u202fMP said:\u202f”This government is committed to levelling up all parts of the country. We created the \u00a33.6bn Towns Fund to help businesses grow, connect communities and give people the skills they need to succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut no place is\u00a0exactly the same. That is why we want\u00a0to help\u00a0local people to decide how this investment of up to \u00a325m in each town\u00a0can be used to\u00a0help create new businesses, new jobs and new homes for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement follows\u00a0the launch of the My Town campaign, giving local people the chance to share what they love about their town and how they want to see it grow. In just one week, the campaign has drawn over 10,000 responses from across the country.<\/p>\n

Lead councils\u202fin each place\u202fwill now bring together a Town Deal Board including representatives from across the public, private and voluntary sectors to develop bespoke Town Investment Plans by summer 2020.<\/p>\n

These plans will provide a clear vision for building on their town\u2019s unique strengths to transform its economic growth prospects and form\u202fthe\u202fbasis of negotiations with the government.<\/p>\n

Minister for the Northern Powerhouse<\/a> and Local Growth Rt Hon Jake Berry MP said:\u202f\u201dWe are giving local people the money and power to decide what is best for their town\u202fbecause they know\u202ftheir community\u2019s\u202funique strengths.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we can build on the billions of pounds the government has already invested in our towns and the thousands of new jobs and businesses it has delivered, to level up these places across the Northern Powerhouse and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
