More than 100 projects across the UK will be awarded a total of £2.1 billion from the Levelling Up Fund, the government said on Wednesday.
The winners of the second round of funding, from 111 areas across the UK’s four nations, include the Eden Project North visitor attraction in Morecambe, a new artificial intelligence campus in Blackpool, a new rail link in Cornwall, and a major regeneration scheme in Gateshead that will create jobs and grow the economy, the government said.
