Answer
In England, local investment is mainly determined by Local Enterprise Partnerships based on their local economic growth priorities and funded through programmes such as City Deals, Devolution Deals, the Local Growth Fund and Enterprise Zones.
My officials continue to work with the Coalfields Regeneration Trust to support former coalfields communities.
Local growth is a devolved issue in the rest of the UK.
