A bid for the South West to become the 'UK natural powerhouse' has been promised a £1.5million cash boost by the Government just hours before the mass revolt against the outgoing Prime Minister.
The cash comes after years of asking by the Great South West partnership which has lobbied for a sum of £2million to further its ambitions.
It has been welcomed by Karl Tucker, chairman of the Heart of the South West LEP which is a key voice in the Great South West campaign.
