Full business cases for a key multi-million pound Towns Fund scheme in Brighouse will be submitted to Government over the next two months.

The Brighouse business cases – the town was the first to be told it had a successful bid – for five projects are due to be submitted by the end of July but as these will involve switching small portions of the money from two of the schemes to two others will need Government approval to make the changes first.
