en.Wedoany.com Report, The UK government has launched the Growth and Housing Accelerator Fund, investing £165 million to support development projects that have stalled due to a lack of transport infrastructure. As part of the Road Investment Strategy 3 (RIS3), this fund will focus on financing transport infrastructure construction along or near motorways and A-roads in England, aiming to unlock long-dormant housing and commercial sites.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander stated: "Too many homes and employment opportunities have been stalled for years due to a lack of supporting infrastructure. This fund will pave the way for long-dormant developments, providing the necessary transport infrastructure funding for stalled projects, driving progress, and creating new jobs and opportunities for deserving communities." National Highways will invite local authorities to register development projects for consideration in the coming weeks and will announce a rolling funding program starting from the end of 2026/27.

The fund focuses on development projects that cannot proceed due to insufficient transport infrastructure, enabling previously unviable housing and commercial plans to move forward by funding essential road connections. A list of successful projects receiving funding will be announced progressively by the end of the 2026/27 financial year. This initiative is part of the government's broader infrastructure investment strategy, aiming to unlock housing growth potential and support local economic development by improving transport infrastructure.
