We are keen to learn more about local authorities’ experiences and views on these funds and, in particular: Levelling Up Funding • the approach taken in relation to identifying areas of greater need or priority in round two; • how successful Scottish local authorities have been in securing round two Levelling Up Funding and how the process for bidding for Levelling Up Funding in round two compares with round one (where relevant) • the extent to which any funding for successful bids in round one has been released, to what timescales and how confident local authorities are that the projects which have secured funding to date will be achieved within the agreed timescales • the process for project evaluation, monitoring and subsequent reporting to the UK Government • what COSLA consider should happen after the 2024-25 deadline for the current Levelling Up Fund.
