Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has met with (a) Tamworth Borough Council, (b) Staffordshire County Council and (c) Lichfield District Council to discuss heritage assets.

Answer

The Government is committed to levelling up the whole country.

Tamworth has been awarded £21.65 million from the Future High Street Fund to deliver regeneration of the Town Centre, which is home to a number of heritage assets. In addition to this Tamworth been awarded £2.328 million UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

Lichfield, which also has heritage assets, has been awarded £3.285 million UKSPF.

I would like to thank Tamworth for hosting me during a recent political visit to the town centre, to see the impact of our levelling up funding. Details of ministerial meetings with external organisations are published on Gov.uk. Departmental officials are in constant contact with counterparts in local government on a wide range of topics.
