Today, Wythenshawe was one of around 400 places across the North of England to miss out on funding when the Government revealed its list of successful Levelling Up bids ⬇️ Here's what residents had to say:
“We do need investment. I’d like to see it for the people of Wythenshawe – they deserve it,” says Billy Johnson, a market trader in the south Manchester suburb.
He said local people here were feeling “a bit neglected”. He said: “I have a lot of sympathy for them. I enjoy conversations with a lot of customers. The people that come here have spirit, but it does need some TLC.Asked what he thought of the distribution of Levelling Up funding, Mr Johnson added: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know, isn’t it!”
Rishi Sunak and the Levelling Up Secretary, Michael Gove, announcing the winners of funding in Morecambe The share of funding going to southern regions increased from 26 per cent to 34 per cent, and London’s share of the pot more than doubled. “I think around half the funding we have announced over the course of today, or both funds, has actually gone to places that are not controlled by Conservative MPs or councils,” he said.
“I don’t get why our area doesn’t get anything and others do,” Emma said. “We need something for the kids. There’s not even any decent parks any more, they’re all full of broken glass… I don’t think the council have any money to fix it.
