With new funding available for local councils as part of the Levelling Up initiative, place managers and local authorities have a new opportunity to invest in the long-term health and prosperity of towns. The high street is a critical part of a local community and the levelling up prospectus talks in detail about the opportunities covered by the fund across the retail and leisure economy in towns and cities.
During this webinar, Katie Girdwood, Business Development Manager for Councils and BIDS will discuss the ways that LDC is helping its council clients to maximise value from funding gained, measure the impact of investments, and build a case to apply for funding. She will also share the latest market context including data on how quickly stores are reopening.
