What is the timescale for English city region capital regeneration projects to complete their work?

The question arises from the need to understand if there will be further opportunities for local high street regeneration in Maltby, Thurcroft and Kiveton, following the successful bid by Dinnington high street.
Can she confirm that she will also look kindly on further bids, when I bring them, for my other high streets, such as in Maltby, Thurcroft and Kiveton? Will Rother Valley still be eligible for round 3 of the levelling-up fund?
This project is due to provide almost £20 million for local regeneration schemes in Dinnington and Wath upon Dearne. Rotherham had two successful levelling-up fund schemes in the first round worth a total of £39.5 million.

Context
The question arises from the lack of success for Thornley Lane North, which is a boundary between two communities that did not succeed in previous rounds of levelling-up funding. The Minister is asked to explain what can be done to help level up these specific areas.
Thornley Lane North is literally the boundary between Denton and Reddish, and the Minister will not understand the incredulity of local residents to see these huge electronic billboards plastered with “Levelling up”. What is the Minister going to do to help me level up Denton and Redditch?
I am certainly happy to meet the hon. Gentleman to discuss those levelling-up projects. We have had a huge swathe of fantastic projects funded around the country.

Assessment & feedback
The questioner requested specific actions or plans for Denton and Redditch, but the answer provided was vague and did not address these areas directly.
