Community Development: Kent

Volume 471: debated on Wednesday 6 February 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much her Department made available for regeneration projects and community building initiatives in (a) Thanet and (b) Dover District Council areas in each of the last three years. (183756)

Thanet and Dover districts have received a wide variety of funding for regeneration initiatives since the late 1990s. Some of this is specific to the Communities and Local Government Department, but with the growth of single ‘pots’ there has also been a merger of different funding streams from different Government Departments. While it is possible to state that Thanet received £2,681,792.00 in neighbourhood element and cleaner, safer, greener funding for regeneration activities in the last two years, other funding streams—such as the European Objective 2 programme, the Coalfield Regeneration Trust, and Single Regeneration Budget—are divided across districts and wider areas. Thanet is also eligible for around £4 million from the new working neighbourhoods fund, over the next three years.
