answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>High streets have a crucial role to play as we work to grow the economy of all parts of the country. Our £1 billion Future High Streets Fund is key to delivering this, empowering local leaders to help transform their high streets and town centres as consumer habits change, by investing in housing, workplaces, infrastructure and culture.</p><p>All expressions of interest to the Future High Streets Fund were individually assessed in line with the guidance and information published in our Prospectus and Supplementary Guidance, where we also outlined the criteria for the Fund as well as the weighting for the expression of interest questions. Both the Prospectus and Supplementary Guidance can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/future-high-streets-fund-call-for-proposals" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/future-high-streets-fund-call-for-proposals</a>.</p><p>As the Future High Streets Fund is still a live and open competitive process it would not be appropriate for the Department to publish individual scores, as these are commercially sensitive.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 07/10/2019 15:55:22 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
