Towns in our region to benefit from government funding
Over 100 towns will receive up to £1 million from the government.
Funding of between £500,000 and £1 million has been announced for over 100 towns in England by the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick.
The funding is going to be used to support projects that will make a difference to local areas, like green spaces, pop-up businesses, and pedestrianising streets to encourage walking and cycling.
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said "Our Towns Fund will help to share prosperity across the country and level-up. This £80 million funding for immediate investment is a real boost for our towns and will help them thrive with investment in transport, technology, skills and culture.
It will give towns across the opportunity to drive economic growth and improve prospects for their communities, which will be vital as the country respond to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. We are fully behind our high streets and will support local areas to build back better."
Colchester, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Norwich, Yarmouth and King's Lynn are all going to benefit from the funding.
