QUOTE:
So if Central Ward is so deprived what special funding is available and what for?

A.

Ros Robson at Regeneration Services would be able to give a comprehensive answer. Basically their is a lot of strategic funding that come in from Europe, Central Govt. ERDF, SRB6, NRF the bulk of which. Then there's the perks such as no Stamp Duty. Thats perverse in Hyndburn cos the threshold is £60,000 so above that you would have thought they had the money and shouldnt be exempt. But once you think about a London slum, Tower Hamlets eg, where a slum house will fetch over £200,000 it scews the picture.
