Rochdale and Wigan could be in line for most arts funding, a government paper has revealed.
As part of its plans to plough funding into arts and culture outside of London, the the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said more than 100 places outside of London will benefit from extra cash from 2023.
Places such as Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley, Rochdale and Wigan may end up being given further support under the plans.
