Answer
We want to ensure that communities across the country, such as in South Basildon and East Thurrock, have the support they need to revitalise their high street. As part of this, we plan to introduce new powers to help fill vacant properties through High Street Rental Auctions and to empower greater community ownership by introducing a Right to Buy for valued community assets in the English Devolution Bill.
