Housing Infrastructure Fund

Councils that were on a list to receive funds from the Housing Infrastructure Fund have missed out on tens of millions of pounds. 

The government originally listed 110 councils that were to get a share of £866m for 133 projects.

However, a new list has been published which reduces the funding to £611m shared between 76 councils. 

That said, some councils are still awaiting clarification about their bids and are still in dialogue with government over funding of their schemes.
