Museum stakeholders say they will push for continued investment after the UK Government said it was “minded to withdraw” more than £100m of Levelling Up funding, including grants for six cultural regeneration projects.
As part of last week’s budget, the chancellor Rachel Reeves indicated that she would scrap the previous government's unfunded spending commitments, including the Levelling Up Culture and Capital Regeneration Projects announced in the 2024 spring budget.
A statement from the government said: “Given the need to make savings, the government has announced that it is minded to withdraw funding from the Levelling Up Culture Projects and Capital Regeneration Projects announced by the government at Spring Budget 2024, but will consult these places before making final decisions.”
The Levelling Up grants were intended to support “projects that have significant potential to develop the creative and cultural sector or part of the creative cultural sector”.
