About

The Outer London Fund, launched by the Mayor on 13 June 2011, is a three-year initiative dedicated to strengthening the vibrancy and growth of high streets and surrounding areas. At the centre of the initiative is funding of up to £50 million, supported by the offer of advice that can be targeted at improving the character, quality and economic vitality of selected high street places.

Outer London Fund support is being allocated in two rounds; the first has provided an immediate opportunity to access funds and advice for a number of projects that are ready to deliver. On 3 August 2011 the Mayor announced the Round One successful bids - the award of nearly £10m of funding to 20 boroughs across London. These made a visible contribution to the vibrancy and self-confidence of high streets in the lead up to the holiday trading season and beyond.

The successful second round bids have now been announced by the Mayor and can be viewed here [link]. The second round of the Outer London Fund will continue the package of support, adding more places and shifting the balance towards large physical projects that can deliver lasting improvement.
