Towns across the UK will benefit from a £1.5bn cash boost aimed at reviving high streets, improving local public services, and driving regeneration, the Government has announced.

A total of 75 ‘left behind’ areas will each receive up to £20m of funding over the next decade as part of the Government's Plan for Neighbourhoods.

New ‘Neighbourhood Boards’ bringing together residents, businesses, mayors and campaigners will be set up in each area to decide how the £20m will be spent.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the plan gives residents control over ‘what issues they want to tackle, where they want to regenerate and what growth they want turbocharge.’

Minister for Local Growth and Building Safety Alex Norris MP added the Government was ‘empowering communities to take control of their futures and create the regeneration and growth they want to see.’
