The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure that the Community Ownership Fund reaches communities in South Shropshire.

Answered by Nesil Caliskan

The Community Ownership Fund has helped communities across the United Kingdom to take ownership of assets that are important to their local areas. Since 2021, the Fund has awarded over £135 million to 410 projects across the UK, including over £1.8 million to projects in Shropshire.

The Community Ownership Fund is now closed and there will be no further application windows.
