More than £75 million of government levelling up funding is to go to further education projects in England – including new campuses and expanded provision for existing colleges.
The government on Wednesday evening unveiled more than 100 projects sharing £2.1 billion for its second round of the Levelling Up Fund.
The fund aims to support local infrastructure and regeneration schemes, such as town centre revamps, bringing vacant spaces back into use, bolstering transport or highways infrastructure and cultural restoration projects.
Among the headline schemes in the FE sector is a new £40 million carbon neutral education campus for Blackpool and The Fylde College (existing campus pictured) to replace its aging town centre facilities.
