A Greater Manchester MP has slammed the latest round of Levelling Up funding as the "final nail in the coffin".
Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne had supported Tameside Council's bid to transform Denton town centre, which included plans to significantly improve the festival town hall, with a new neighbourhood hub for children’s services and new NHS primary care services.
In a blog post on his own website, Labour MP Mr Gwynne said: “This announcement is the final nail in the coffin of the Government’s levelling-up agenda. In 2019, local people were promised investment which would transform neglected communities – particularly in the north of England.
