Cllr Martin Tett, the Local Government Association's Economy spokesman, responded to the Government announcement of the Future High Streets Fund

“Many councils throughout the country are already leading the way in transforming the future potential of their town centres in the face of unprecedented changes in shopping habits and the retail landscape.

“We are pleased that the Government has acted by providing an injection of desperately-needed funding into revitalising our town centres, but it is important that the bidding process is kept proportionate and that councils have full flexibility over how this funding is spent as each place will require different solutions to their unique circumstances."
