UK towns will receive £20m of funding over the next decade to improve local transport, reduce crime and encourage high street regeneration in a bid to reduce regional inequalities.
Nobody has a better idea of what the UK’s town and city centres need than the people who live, experts have told the All Party Parliamentary Group on Devolution.
Extra cash will help councils revive their town centres, but targeting it effectively – not least on improving the built environment – is crucial for sustained success, says Nigel Wilcock.
