While much has been made of whether the govt has used the funding to strengthen its hold of the seats it gained in 2019, there's been little scrutiny of its central goal: investing in the places, projects and people that need it most. We take a look 👇
It's been two years since this government was elected with a mandate to level up the left-behind parts of the UK.
Alan Evans, director of regeneration and place at Wirral Council, says that the money will revive the town centre by removing the"concrete collar" separating the waterfront area from central Birkenhead, and by creating new public spaces and affordable housing. Professor Graeme Atherton, head of the Centre for Levelling Up at the University of West London, says we need to balance spending on physical infrastructure with investment in skills and training.
Mr Evans says it is difficult to target specific communities with limited resources and so Wirral Council is prioritising the facilities that can benefit everyone. "If we're going to level up these communities, we need to give them the resource to do this, the power of decision-making and we need to give them the time to turn around some of these big issues."Located in the North West of England, Wirral is one of the areas you would expect to receive funding.
