Tell Me How You Would Spend The £20m Towns Fund?

The Government has released £20 million to help regenerate our town.

This survey is asking you to help me decide where the priorities are. As part of the fund, I get a say, which means you get a say. How should this money be spent for maximum effect?

Please fill in the survey with your thoughts and views.

Decisions on how this money is spent will be made by local leaders and can go on priorities from high street or seafront regeneration to community safety or transport links.

There will also be more support to allow councils to make use of a suite of regeneration powers to unlock more private sector investment by auctioning empty high street shops – something I have campaigned to happen and would allow empty sites in the town centre to be used for much-needed employment space.
