Just compare the £2m per year each over 10 years to revive 30 impoverished towns announced as Levelling Up by the Prime Minister with:£162m to build Cambridge CSET busway£230m to build Cambridge C2C busway£277m gift to private company to move the Cambridge WWT into the Green Belt£8bn to build East-West Rail extension to Cambridge!
