Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 48
Additional metrics for Levelling Up Fund applications undermined trust and transparency.
Conclusion
A further concern regarding the distribution of competitive funding was the additional metrics for success applied to once applications had closed in round two of the Levelling Up Fund. This was signally unhelpful for perceptions of trust and transparency and leaves the Government open to criticisms that it has not clearly explained how funding decisions have been made on the basis of need or merit.
