The leader of East Riding Council is continuing to chase £300 million of funding that was ‘promised’ to Hull and East Yorkshire.
The funding was announced by the previous Conservative Government as a part of the Network North scheme which sought to reallocate funding from the scrapped northern leg of HS2.
Ann Handley says she spoke to Rachel Reeves directly:
The current government has yet to confirm whether or not the area will receive the funding.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
