Six Greater Manchester boroughs benefit from Jeremy Hunt's surprise Levelling Up cash in Spring Budget
Budget measures announced by the Chancellor yesterday include levelling up cash boosts for six of Greater Manchester's 10 boroughs.
“And I will make over £400m available for new Levelling Up Partnerships in areas that include Redcar and Cleveland, Blackburn, Oldham, Rochdale, Mansfield, South Tyneside, and Bassetlaw." "I’m excited to see the health and economic benefits this hub will bring to Stockport along with community pride." The council said the building will be made from sustainable materials and use low carbon and energy technology.
Just weeks ago the borough missed out in its bid for £35m of levelling up fund money for investment in Stalybridge and Denton town centres. Salford City Council is to receive a £5.4m funding contribution for its plans to redevelop Eccles town centre. Wigan Council has also been awarded £6.6m. Budget documents said this funding has been 'targeted towards the left-behind places' and projects have been 'assessed as high quality and will commence delivery later this year”.
