PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Investment Zones: Ashfield (10 October 2022)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether Ashfield and Eastwood constituency will be one of the 38 investment zones announced in the Growth Plan 2022.

Asked by:
Lee Anderson (Reform UK)

Answer

DLUHC has launched a formal Expression of Interest process that is open to all Mayoral Combined Authorities, or Upper Tier Local Authorities where they do not exist, and Freeports, in England. Every area is welcome to apply, and we have been discussing potential zones with many areas across England.

Discussions are not confirmation that any particular place would be designated as an Investment Zone. The EOI closed on 14 October 2022 and we will make an announcement in due course once we have received and assessed all bids.
