"Major transport projects are to receive £20 million after Staffordshire County Council successfully bid for funding" as if the (Tory) County Council has done well to get the money and the (Tory) Government has been generous in giving it to us, and as if public money hasn't been invested in transport infrastructure since longer than I can remember.

  • More than £9 million for work at either end of the A34 between Cannock and Stafford.
    In Cannock, there will be walking and cycling routes to complement the planned town centre regeneration and link to the train station.
  • In Stafford, there will be the creation and maintenance of walking and cycling routes along Radford Bank to the town centre.🤔

It's this. How does levelling up when it involves spending money on tarmac do anything for the local area bar level the tarmac. Not a single penny of this will go in to local economy and it will do nothing for the area bar increase traffic speeds and pollution. I despise these integrity free, corrupt #darenttypeword!
