Announced at the Spending Review, the Levelling Up Fund will invest in infrastructure across the UK. The £4.8 billion allocation will support town centre and high street regeneration, local transport projects, and cultural and heritage assets.
The Fund is jointly managed by HM Treasury (HMT), the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Transport (DfT). This cross-departmental Fund represents a new approach to local investment and will aim end siloes in Whitehall that make it difficult to take a holistic approach to the infrastructure needs of local areas.
AMION is currently advising a number of local authorities on the bidding process, in particular around the need to submit a “Green Book” Business Case.
