The Vibrant and Sustainable High Streets Fund is the first of four schemes to launch under the £27million Mayoral Challenge Fund, which will also see programmes to strengthen key business sectors, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost adult vocational skills.
Launching the High Streets Fund, today (Feb 3) Mr Skaith said the region’s town centres are ‘the heart of our communities’ but were battling the long-term impact of lockdown, online shopping and big, out-of-town retail parks.
