Towns Fund an 'election stunt'

摘要

The Government's £3.6bn Towns Fund has been dismissed as a 'pre-election stunt' by political opponents. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has announced 100 places that will share £16.4m of funding to put together business plans, which would then unlock up to £25m each. However, Labour has argued the money does not go far enough against a backdrop of long-term central Government cuts.
