What is levelling up?Originally Posted by Rjk
A good question, one of Johnson’s meaningless slogans it would appear- as in “world beating”, “moonshot” etc. etc.
its a flagship policy of the current UK government that aims to reduce the economic and social imbalances in the UK. Thus far its been a lot of rhetoric and political bluster from the Tories rather than any concrete action that will make a difference. Whilst billions are spent on crossrail, there's nothing in the pot to take HS2 to Leeds.
I heard somewhere last week that only around 30% or so of applications by LAs had been successful. not only that, but the levelling up fund is around £1.5bn. That's not going to dent decades of under investment in the regions outwith London and the SouthEast.
