Total promised government spending has been slashed to an extent that the North Easts plans alone would account for over two thirds of what’s available for the whole country.
Sorry I tried to find the article to provide a link but couldn’t. It was a report in the Northumberland Gazette .
Yes i saw this too. Mr Gannon said the government was heading in the right direct but wasn't offering anywhere near the support £££££ wise to get these ideas up and running. They were not going to change there plans but like you say they arn't going to get 2/3 of the money for the north east. Probably end up with a really watered down version... cant see nothing improving though... which should be an improvement?!?!
