Community Relations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to promote community cohesion.

Answer

The Government has made £15 million available to the places most severely affected by the violent disorder of the summer through the Community Recovery Fund. Officials from my department have also carried out an extensive engagement process with these places to understand and address the underlying causes of the unrest.

This Government is determined to take a long-term, strategic approach to building social cohesion. This is a priority and I have stood up a cross-government Communities & Recovery Steering Group to oversee this work.

This Government is committed to ensuring that communities across Britain are safe, resilient, and united.
