Answer from Hansard

The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Angela Rayner)

Alongside the Budget, we announced our new cross-Government high streets strategy to breathe new life into our town centres, backed by £210 million of new funding to reinvent our high streets with new shops, public services and community spaces. My hon. Friend is a tireless campaigner for her high streets and the traders in her constituency. I am pleased that she managed to secure £3 million for Dudley from our derelict buildings fund.
