Northampton councils miss out on levelling-up cash

Northampton councils miss out on levelling-up cash Projects in Northamptonshire have missed out on a share of £4.8bn from the government's latest round of Levelling Up Fund spending.

North and West Northamptonshire councils said they were "disappointed" and were considering proposed projects would be affected.

West Northamptonshire Council's bids included £20m for a leisure centre, cinema, library and new home for health and social services in Weston Favell in Northampton.

A bid of £13m was submitted to restore the stables at Delapré Abbey in the county town, as well as creating a new wellbeing hub and establishing a cancer care centre at Northampton General Hospital. BBC Northampton
