Written question asked by Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative) on Thursday, 14 July 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 18 July 2022. It was answered by Lia Nici (Conservative) on Wednesday, 20 July 2022 on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
Levelling Up Fund: Shrewsbury
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding levelling up funding to Shrewsbury.
- Answer
-
Shrewsbury will benefit from over £12 million of funding that was allocated to Shropshire from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The UK Shared Prosperity Fund supports the UK Government's wider commitment to level up all parts of the UK.
The second round of the Levelling Up Fund is now open for applications and will look to build on the success of round one, which saw £1.7 billion awarded to 105 successful projects across the UK. I would encourage Shropshire Council to bring forward any projects they feel may be suitable for the Fund prior to the application deadline of midday on 2 August.
