North grabs lion's share of regional growth cash

摘要

The north of England has benefited from the majority of the ￡450m regional growth fund (RGF), announced by deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg. Several local authorities were on the list, including Manchester City Council, Don-caster MBC, and Wakefield City Council. The Manchester council is leading a scheme with commercial property firm, Bruntwood, to transform a former eye hospital near the city's university campus into a biomedical centre of excellence.
