Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Alex Norris)
The Government are committed to rejuvenating high streets by empowering local communities. Through the £1.5 billion plan for neighbourhoods, we are providing flexible funding to support our most challenged communities. We are also tackling vacancy with high street rental auctions and legislating for a new community right to buy to support community ownership.
