£60m allocated to revive brownfield land for 6,000 homes

The Government has awarded £60m from the second tranche of brownfield land release funding to pave the way for 6,000 to be built.
The awards to councils from Hull to Somerset will support nearly 100 regeneration projects.
The investment is part of the second phase of the £180m Brownfield Land Release Fund, with cash going directly to councils so they can release the land and get building as soon as possible.
Projects that will benefit from the scheme include:
Newcastle: £1.82m
