Investment through local enterprise partnerships and growth hubs.
What steps are being taken to encourage local growth in Lincoln? The Government have provided £155 million through the greater Lincolnshire local enterprise partnership's growth deals. What does the Minister foresee for the success of towns fund project bids of a transport type in enhancing the attractiveness of the city and benefiting all residents, workers, businesses, students, and visitors?
I am obliged to my hon. Friend for his question, because strengthening transport connectivity is a principal focus for the towns fund and some £173,000 of capacity funding has been made available to his town deal board in Lincoln. Throughout the development of their investment plans, town boards should consider a range of interventions and commit investment to the priorities that drive growth and prosperity for their towns, and that includes transport.
