On 30th June 2020, the Prime Minister set out the Government’s ‘New Deal’. As part of that announcement, the Prime Minister announced that Government will be making £900m available through the new Getting Building Fund investing in local infrastructure projects to drive economic growth. An allocation of £13.4m was confirmed for the LEP, over 2020/21 and 2021/22.
Funding has been allocated through a competitive process and the Getting Building Fund is investing in projects that create jobs and support economic recovery.
