Ssssh!

The Government has given Doncaster council a grant of £18.6 million in the latest round of Levelling up funding. It will be used to regenerate part of the Waterfront, turn the derelict St James Beth's into a Posh health Spa and the rest will go to civic projects in Waterdale and the Market place in particular the Corn exchange. Quite a few on here will not be happy about this!

It's great news sprot, assuming that this is just the deposit on a backlog of claims

And that's great Sproty.

Another 160 grants of that size and South Yorks would match the amount the EU was about to give us before we told them to keep their money.

I'm not happy, we would have received more as a region from the EU. Why would I be happy that Doncaster is worse off? And are you happy that's the case?

[Glyn_Wigley]

Apparently losing a fiver and finding a tanner makes some strange people happy.

[Bentley Bullet]

Depends on how much you had to pay to keep the fiver.

Ahhh, this must be the sovereignty cheque that we will all get to offset us all no longer paying the EU. You must have had yours BB… how much was it?

[Bentley Bullet]

What?

Haven't you noticed the price increases in shops?

[BigH]

Well every little helps and anything to give areas a bit of a facelift has to be a good thing.

£18.6m is 1.1% of the first tranche of levelling up funding and 0.4% of the whole levelling up fund. It'll be spent over the next couple of years. Over 100 councils have been granted something similar. So not as if Doncaster has been singled out for something special. It compares with a capital investment budget for Doncaster as a whole of £308m over 2021-24.

Could Rovers apply for some of this levelling-up dosh to help buy that forward line we've been craving?!

Do you mean those price rises due to increases in commodity and global shipping prices, and the impact of labour, driver and raw material shortages?

I presume you re talking about those posters who keep going on about Labour governments 'spending other people's money' here sproty? I am sure they have not yet read the thread and will be along soon to criticise Johnson 'spending other people's money'.

Although the ones who have continually said that it wasn't Doncaster Council's fault they haven't done much to the town centre - it was the Tory governments not giving them the money - appear to have been proved correct.

I think he is refering to the permanent 4% cut in GDP due to Johnson's Brexit deal, as noted in his own government figures, but Donny will need to clarify.

[Bentley Bullet]

And just supposing he was referring to that, would he be right?

That's what the Office for Budget Responsibility is saying, I guess they would know best.

''Leaving the European Union will reduce the size of the British economy by about 4% in the long run, with the pandemic cutting GDP by a further 2%, according to the U.K. Office for Budget Responsibility’s latest forecasts. Richard Hughes, the fiscal watchdog’s chairman, said that the “plain vanilla” U.K.-EU trade deal, combined with “not very significant offsetting effects” from post-Brexit accords with other countries, meant the OBR left its forecast of Britain’s medium-term economic loss unchanged. “We’re less connected to the outside world than we used to before, and this is as a result of the fact it’s become harder to trade with our critical trading partner,” he added''

You had to pay about a quid not to keep the fiver but to use the tools to earn it in the first place.
