The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking through the Pride in Place Programme to support the long-term economic regeneration of town centres in Scotland.

Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

Through the Government's Pride in Place Programme, up to £5.8 billion is being invested over 10 years in 284 neighbourhoods experiencing the highest levels of deprivation, including 24 towns and neighbourhoods in Scotland. In each area, a Neighbourhood Board will work with the local community to decide how this funding is spent, which could include investment in town centre regeneration projects, where these reflect local priorities.
