Description: On 15 June 2020, the awarding authority launched further guidance aimed to enable towns to finalise their investment plans and work with MHCLG to agree their respective town deals.It also sets out important information about interventions in scope, and the roles of different stakeholders in the process, and shows the path towards implementation of Town Deals.The Secretary of State asked that we ensure Towns Fund gives a high priority to skills and, in particular, the role of FE sector providers in delivering those skills.Skills Capital Projects are eligible for funding as an element of Towns Fund regeneration plans (Towns Deals).Towns Boards will have started planning their proposals in November 2019, prior to the rapid change in context, economic outlook and the prospect of high levels of unemployment. Towns Boards may revisit and adapt their plans (list of project proposals) in the light of Covid 19 recovery priorities. This could increase the focus on skills initiatives which we would want to encourage.Towns Fund is a separate fund from any other MHCLG Funds, Skills Capital or any FE Capital Funds.
