Towns Fund
On 6 September 2019 the government invited 100 places to develop proposals for a Town Deal, as part of the £3.6 billion Towns Fund, Nuneaton town was identified as one of these towns. Proposals were sought which would drive long term economic and productivity growth through investment in connectivity, land use, economic assets including cultural assets, skills and enterprise infrastructure. A Towns Board has been established to oversee the development of a Town Investment Plan for Nuneaton and make the submission to government for funds. In March 2021 the Towns Board received confirmation from government that an award of £24.2m had been made to Nuneaton town to deliver the 12 projects identified in the Town Investment Plan.
