I was excited to see this on the news, one billion over 60 years, a quarter of a billion this next three years, biggest Chinese investment in the UK outside London - so far so good ..... and then it was reported that SCC will be responsible for distributing and spending the money. The oddballs, housewives and pensioners who make up our cllrs will have the power just as they did with the EU funding.
I really hope the Chinese are hands on with this because if there is one thing SCC does well it's waste money.
