Tories pledge £20m to 30 towns, as Labour attack ‘reckless, unfunded’ plan

The Tories have announced a pledge to give 30 towns £20 million, a plan which Labour have described as a ‘reckless, unfunded’ commitment

As part of the scheme, the Tories pledge that local people, not those in Westminster, will decide how the money will be spent.They claim bringing decision-makers closer to the people and businesses this transformational funding will affect is an important element of this plan. “This bold action will transform 30 more towns – reviving their high streets, growing their local economies and making people feel proud of the place they call home.“Labour’s record in government shows they don’t care about towns – neglecting their needs, allowing them to decline and focusing instead on cities.“Building on our strong track record of levelling up in Teesside and the Midlands, we will go further across the country to build a secure future for our children and grandchildren.

Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader and shadow levelling up secretary, responding to the plan said: “Just days ago, Rishi Sunak raided levelling up cash to fund his teenage Dad’s Army.
