The Portas Pilot scheme, of which Accrington has submitted a bid, has still to choose the twelve successful towns.

That Observer article is misleading/false - because it does say that it is from the Portas scheme.
"The borough has been awarded the money out of the £10million High Street Innovation Fund, which the Government is labelling its ‘Portas Plus’ plan"
Portas Plus - Portas Pilot - are they just confusing the issue?
