This week’s announcement that the Government has launched a new £60m fund for councils to unlock parcels of disused and unloved land across Yorkshire and beyond is a welcome move. It is expected to trigger a hundred new regeneration projects, according to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and is the second phase of the Brownfield Release Fund.
The £500m South Bank regeneration scheme in Leeds, for example; its ultimate aim to double the size of the city centre by providing places to live and work in the thriving metropolis. In Sheffield, Kelham Island, once the heart of the city’s steel manufacturing industry, has become a thriving hub of community activity with homes, offices, restaurants and bars now replacing the wasteland where the city’s forges once stood. The visionary thinking behind these schemes should be applauded.
