£210m Fund Launched for High Street Regeneration in England
What happened
Louise Haigh has been appointed to lead the Place Regeneration taskforce for England. This taskforce will coordinate a £210m fund, sourced from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government funding, to support high street regeneration. The money is designated to help local authorities convert vacant buildings, such as shopping centers and cinemas, into civic or health spaces.

Why it matters
