So, in reality, it’s all about spending £330,000 of public funds to level up Viscount Gage’s country lane.

As it costs £50, on average, to fill a pot hole, that’s over 6,000 holes filled.

I did wonder what the “ levelling up “ fund would be used for and did think it was another one of Johnson’s promises like the 40 new NHS hospitals, £350 million EU. money for the NHS, 20,000 new Coppers, etc, etc, etc.

Let’s just call it corrupt, shall we?

The original comment I saw about it was from the Mail online, but I try not to read that so looked for it elsewhere.

I, for one, was grateful that the track was sorted in time for this season’s shooting at Firle. Last year it played havoc with my back.

Shirley, a different kind of shooting than one would expect in a place included in the levelling up scheme?

The grim inner city of Firle.

this is problem with all government funding schemes, money will end up in places that meet criteria, not necessarily where there is need.

It's the same with so many of this Government initiatives, grants, funds, contracts and fast track programs. The money always seems to end up were it was intended rather than where it is actually needed or claimed to be for

Dunno, but a few years back I had a couple of days on the grouse on - Bradford Council owned - Ilkley Moor and the tracks were in better condition than those at Firle last season.
