Communications & Engagement

The TFDP has created a host of different blogs, resources, and guidance for Towns to deliver effective communications and engagement with their stakeholders and audiences throughout the project lifecycle.

Note: At the beginning of the Towns Fund programme, DLUHC was known as the Ministry for Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG). Some historic resources may still contain the MHCLG branding.
