## Description

The Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced consultant for this second stage of the Town Fund process, to produce the Town Fund Investment Plan \(3-month period\)\.

Again, this will be carried out separately and will stay well below the £50,000 threshold and within the budget set by MHCLG\.

Urban regeneration, planning and land use: ensuring towns are thriving places for people to live and work, including by: a\. Increasing density in town centres; b\. Strengthening local economic assets including local cultural assets; c\. Site acquisition, remediation, preparation, regeneration; and d\. Making full use of planning tools to bring strategic direction and change\. 2\. Skills and enterprise infrastructure: driving private sector investment and ensuring towns have the space to support skills and small business development; and 3\. Connectivity: developing local transport schemes that complement regional and national networks, as well as supporting the delivery of improved digital connectivity\.
