And a question no one can answer. How much of that would be funded by the UK or WAG if the EU didn't. Certainly some would have, some less, and maybe different projects may have received funding.

It doesnt provide for people like it needed to.
Other than improvements to the town centres, I don't think you could describe any of those as gentrification.

One of the many great things about the EU in my opinion is that the wealthier countries are helping to improve the less well off regions, providing assistance for infrastructure improvements and job creation schemes that they may otherwise not get. Once we've left I feel we are going to have to fight tooth and nail for every penny we can get from Westminster.
