Ok but what problems does this cause?
- rwmj 4y agoThe problems in the article for a start. The "levelling up" funds were distributed centrally based on local councils competing with each other. This encourages zero-sum thinking, and the people responsible for the decisions literally know the least. How does someone in Whitehall really know that a particular project 200 miles away is better than another project equally distant from the centre? We know that they didn't know - they allocated a large proportion to London and the South East, and the rest to Tory constituencies.
