Each investment plan will identify projects that promote social regeneration, well-being, and reduced inequalities, ensuring towns are well-connected, vibrant, and fit for the future. The plans include these key themes:
- supporting local businesses: providing better digital access, new workspaces, and a balanced mix of shops, homes, leisure, and commercial spaces in town centres
- creating sustainable places: improving walking and cycling options and building infrastructure that helps tackle climate challenges
- protecting heritage and boosting growth: investing in cultural and historic assets, finding new uses for empty buildings, and improving public spaces to draw visitors and support town centre activity
- improving health and community well-being: helping reduce health inequalities and supporting healthier, more connected communities
