The Government has announced a multi million pound investment as part of its attempt to “level up” across the country.
In total, £830 million from the Future High Streets Fund will be invested in 72 areas across England.

Crewe will receive £14,148,128 from the fund, putting it in the top 20 of places set to receive funding.
Dr Mullan said: “This government has places like Crewe & Nantwich front and centre now.
“People are going to see the difference, they are going to see what it means and what they voted for led to change.
“This funding is just the start.
“I am ambitious for what we will get from the Town Deal fund as well as the whole Town Board has been working very hard on the application we will put in.
“When Crewe thrives the whole area thrives, everyone benefits in terms of jobs and infrastructure and things for people to do. This is good news all round.”
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick MP said: “This Conservative Government is determined to invest in places like Crewe and that is just the first stage of us doing exactly that.
“We are working with Kieran to make sur Crewe gets the support it needs.
“I know Kieran has been working hard with the Crewe Town Board to secure even more funding for Crewe as part of its Town Deal and we look forward to seeing the plans they will put forward.”
