diverted public funds from deprived urban areasThe prime minister was told by the council this had “not been our lived experience” and only one competitive funding bid by the council for a pot of central government money had been successful in the past six years.
Reflecting on his former role as chancellor, Sunak told party members in August: “I managed to start changing the funding formulas to make sure areas like this are getting the funding they deserve.that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.”
TWBC said “in contrast” to Sunak’s claim, it had “only been successful in one competitive funding bid”, which was for a local cultural centre.
