PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Future High Streets Fund: North West Durham (10 January 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what representations he has received from (a) representatives of Durham County Council and (b) the hon. Member for North West Durham on including towns and villages in North West Durham constituency in consideration of funding allocations from the Future High Streets Fund.

Asked by:
Mr Richard Holden (Conservative)

I can confirm that Durham County Council were eligible for four applications in Round 1 of the Future High Streets Fund. There is no record of written representations or correspondence from either Durham County Council or the hon. Member for North West Durham on funding allocations for North West Durham in the Future High Streets Fund.

We will open a further round of the Future High Streets Fund this year and welcome communities and local authorities to come forward with proposals to bring about change for our high streets.
