Final £1bn levelling-up funding awarded to 55 projects

The government has handed out its final tranche of levelling up funding to 55 projects to transform high streets and improve transport links.

From the £1bn pot, £825m will help to kick-start regeneration in town centres with a further £150m allocated to develop better transport links.

These include breathing new life into treasured heritage and culture buildings in three former mining communities in Doncaster and essential funding needed to transform Blackpool town centre’s transport network.
