Regeneration projects

We are currently leading on two major regeneration projects in the borough.

Towns Fund

We were invited by the Government to bid for up to £25 million for Millom and Cleator Moor.

In November 2022 The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announced both Town Deal bids had been successful. 

Millom received £20.6 million and Cleator Moor £22.5 million.

Levelling Up - Round 2

We successfully bid for £20 million for the Industrial Solutions Hub (iSH) Enterprise Campus. You can access our successful bid here.

The £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund contributes to the levelling up agenda by investing in infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK, including regenerating town centre and high streets, upgrading local transport, and investing in cultural and heritage assets.

A total of 111 areas have been awarded a share of £2.1 billion from Round 2 of the Levelling Up Fund.

An interactive map outlining the spread of funding across the UK can be found on the Levelling Up campaign page.
