More than 50 “overlooked” British towns are going to receive £20m each over the next decade to revive their high streets and tackle anti-social behaviour.

Factors including skills, pay, health and deprivation were examined to ensure the funding – announced as the Conservative Party conference gets under way – goes to the places that need it most.

A total of 55 towns will receive a share of the funding – with 44 in England, seven in Scotland, and four in Wales.
