The government has announced allocation of £2.6 billion of levelling up funding being awarded to communities across the UK through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (‘UKSPF’).
As part of this investment, Bolsover District Council has been awarded £1.96 million, with North East Derbyshire Council, of which 6 wards are within the Bolsover Constituency, receiving £2.57 million.
Funding can be used for things that will support all four aspects of levelling up:
o Boosting living standards by growing the private sector;
o Spreading opportunities and improving public services;
o Restoring a sense of community, local pride and belonging;
o Empowering local leaders and communities.
I look forward to working with our local authorities, businesses and community groups on the planning for making the absolute best use of this money.
