Government funding has shaped many town agendas over the past few years, fuelling ambitious regeneration projects with Levelling Up and High Street funds – not to mention the £486m granted to North West communities through Town Deals. How can the private sector make the most of public sector spend?
We will debate the best way to marry the two and how developers can pitch a deal that authorities will find hard to refuse. If you have ever wanted to try for those big government projects, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
