answer text <p>Freeports bring together a broad coalition of local private and public sector partners to drive investment, innovation, and job creation across their regions. Each Freeport has a Governing Body formed of those partners, which is responsible for delivering the Freeport as agreed with the UK Government, and a nominated local authority, accountable to DLUHC for managing UK Government funding for the Freeport and ensuring the Governing Body operates effectively. In the case of the Thames Freeport, the accountable local authority is Thurrock Council.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Building owners and managing agents remain responsible for completing their full applications without delay. Due to ongoing support and engagement from the Department we are continuing to see an increase in the number of buildings completing remediation. We continue to actively engage with building owners, including providing expert support, and to submit evidence of cost variations where they relate to the works permitted for grant funding.</p><p>For high-rise buildings with unsafe non-ACM cladding, over £1.3 billion has already been allocated from the Building Safety Fund. This means that over 90,000 homes within high-rise blocks are covered by Building Safety Fund applications and leaseholders and residents can be assured the fire risks caused by the unsafe cladding will be addressed at no cost to them.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Under the current system, authorities are responsible for their own borrowing and investment decisions and are accountable to their electorate. Authorities have wide freedoms to borrow from any source, provided it is affordable. Authorities must however, ensure they comply with their statutory duties under the Prudential Framework, and have regard to the four statutory codes that set out best practice.</p><p>The Government collects aggregate data on local authorities borrowing and investment activity commensurate to its stewardship function and monitoring of risk, but does not routinely assess the use of borrowing from specific sources such as the UK Municipal Bonds Agency (UKMBA) or the effectiveness of lenders. The UKMBA is owned by local government, central government has no role in the operations of the agency.</p> more like this
