Two borough towns set to feature in first round of bids for Government High Streets Fund

Wellington and Oakengates are set to become the focus for Telford & Wrekin’s bid for a slice of the Government’s national £675 million scheme to help boost town high streets.

Under the Future High Street Fund’s criteria, the borough based on its population, can submit only two expression of interest bids for specific High Streets in the first round. This must be done by 22 March.
