Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 22 March 2021.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many times he has met with officials from (a) the Treasury and (b) his own Department to discuss the methodology for the allocation of funding under the (i) Levelling Up Fund and (ii) Community Renewal Fund.
The prospectuses published at Budget for the Levelling Up Fund and Community Renewal Fund provide guidance for local areas on how to submit bids for funding for projects starting in 2021-22. This includes guidance on the process for submitting bids, the types of projects eligible for funding and how bids will be assessed.
We have published the index and further details of the methodology used to calculate the index of places set out in the Levelling Up Fund prospectus: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/levelling-up-fund-additional-documents.
A methodological note explaining how the 100 priority places were determined for the UK Community Renewal Fund has also been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-community-renewal-fund-prospectus/uk-community-renewal-fund-prioritisation-of-places-methodology-note.
