Today we are announcing a £1.3 billion investment package to build tens of thousands of new homes and other vital infrastructure projects across the country, laying the foundations for a green economic recovery that builds back better for every part of the UK.
• As part of our ambitious strategy to rebuild Britain after coronavirus, we are determined to kickstart our economic recovery by boosting skills and investing in green infrastructure across the country.
• That is why we are announcing £1.3 billion of investment to deliver new homes, infrastructure and jobs – including £900 million for over 300 shovel-ready projects that is expected to deliver up to 45,000 homes, create 84,000 jobs and reduce CO2 emissions by 65 million kgs, as well as a further £360 million to build 26,000 new homes on brownfield land.
• This people’s government is committed to levelling up every corner of our country – and this investment will ensure we can build our communities back stronger, more united and better connected than ever before.
