The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding her Department plans to provide Maldon District Council for culture projects.

Answered by Alex Norris

This government was elected on a manifesto that stressed a partnership approach with local authorities and an intention to stabilise the funding system, moving away from wasteful competition. Local places will rightly be seeking clarity on previous funding commitments. The government is giving full consideration to this matter, including the hard work undertaken on projects to date.

During this time officials remain available for conversations and to discuss any issues impacting delivery that may arise. Officials will keep projects informed on any programme updates.
