The recent Spring Statement saw confirmation of the second round of the Levelling Up Fund with applications now invited. The first round saw £1.7bn of the total allocation of £4.8bn awarded to projects that will make a genuine difference to local areas.
The second round of the Fund will focus on the same three investment themes of local transport projects, town centre and high street regeneration, and maintaining and expanding the UK’s cultural and heritage assets. The second round of funding provides an opportunity for Local Authorities to address persistent socio-economic challenges and to make a difference to the everyday life of residents, workers and visitors.
To apply for investment from the second round of the Levelling Up Fund, eligible applications must submit their full bids, with all supporting documentation via the online application portal, by 12:00 noon on Wednesday 6 July.
