	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2020 answer text <p>This Government is committed to driving the regeneration of towns across the country as the nation responds to the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Our immediate response to Covid-19 builds on an ongoing programme of interventions. This includes the £3.6 billion Towns Fund which aims to deliver long-term economic and productivity growth to towns and high streets.

We received Crawley’s proposals earlier in the year, and expect to make further announcements of Town Deals in due course. In July, the Prime Minister announced £81.5 million of accelerated funding to the 101 towns to support immediate improvements; Crawley received its £1 million share in September.</p><p>Other elements of the Towns Fund include the Future High Streets Fund competition, where announcements of successful bidders will be made in due course, and a further Towns Fund competition. In addition, the High Streets Task Force has also launched a range of online resources to provide support to places across the country: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.highstreetstaskforce.org.uk%2Fproducts-and-services%2Fsupport-for-all-high-streets%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7Cd70914251ebc4b539db308d887df290a%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637408739813466228%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=%2Bx9JJLnDTsdVRwTS9JqrErAZfu%2FmiA0VdoFVqVSJ0ao%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.highstreetstaskforce.org.uk/products-and-services/support-for-all-high-streets/</a></p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 13/11/2020 14:32:27 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
