Towns Fund
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether any Town Fund projects under the Town Deals programme have applied for an extension.
Answered by Alex Norris
The 2024 October Budget announcement set out a 12-month extension to the original Town Deals deadline. All Town Deal monies must now be spent by March 2027. For a minority of projects delivery will continue after this point, for example where match funding is being used to complete the works. No funding recipients have requested an exemption to spend their grant beyond this date.
