The money will boost the Catterick Garrison town centre project in the PM’s North Yorkshire constituency
The money will boost the Catterick Garrison town centre project in his upmarket North Yorkshire constituency, bringing a new square along with cycling and walking routes.
Analysis also shows London is getting more than both Yorkshire and the North East from the second round of so-called Levelling Up cash, meant to spread investment to areas which have been historically overlooked.
Tories missing out said they were “seriously disappointed”, with one said to be “seething”.
The PM last night kick-started 100 projects, including £672million on better transport links, £821million on community work and £594million for heritage sites.
A government spokesperson said: “All projects were subject to a rigorous assessment under robust, fair and transparent rules, with no involvement of local MPs.”
About 45 per cent of the cash in the two rounds so far is to areas held by opposition parties.
