To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent discussions he has had with representatives of Tamworth Borough Council on levelling up funding.

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).
