Bridgend has some of the poorest areas in the UK, along with parts of Caerphilly Borough

Both have been left out of the list of places that are to receive money from the renewal fund

But its not all bad news , of 35 places part of the list , 22 are tory seats , 10 are former Labour seats the tories won in 2019 and 10 are home to tory ministers

It has been argued that places like Bridgend and Caerphilly have been completely hung out to dry and in Bridgends case most certainly as they voted for Boris

Having analysed the data it appears they have been giving a complete beating and left to rot

Post brexit regional aid .........but they were fibbing
Funny you mention caerphilly as I recall sky news were there the day after the initial brexit vote back in 2016.
The reporter by the castle grabbed some wandering local, asking how did they vote, I voted to leave of course, what have the EU ever done for us here? “Uh...funded the regeneration of your town centre” oh...I didn’t know that as he wandered off to greggs for a pasty.
