Michael Welcomes Funding for Fort Halstead

Michael has welcomed the Government’s decision to provide over one and a half million pounds for the redevelopment of Fort Halstead.

The announcement came as the Government allocated £102 million of Local Growth Deal funding for nineteen projects in the South East.

The £1.53 million for Fort Halstead will enable the building of 450 homes, a hotel, a new village centre and a business park with 1,100 high-tech jobs, making it Sevenoaks’ largest new employment site.

Michael said: “This is excellent news for Sevenoaks.  Redeveloping Fort Halstead is a key local priority.  This funding will kickstart the process, delivering the new housing and jobs we need in the area.”
